It’s our final open mic of 2025! Join us at Benchtop Brewing Co (434 Hull St. RVA 23224) as we raise a pint to poems and community. Tuesday, December 9, 6pm.
No cover or RSVP necessary. Open mic signup will be onsite prior to the event.
Sadly, due to the way the dates fall with Cafe Zata’s holiday schedule, there is no fourth Friday open mic night this December. Thank you to all our poets & friends who came out this year to make it another one for the books. We’ll see you back at Zata on January 23rd, 2026!
Save the date! Our next Poetry Happy Hour at Firehouse is set for Wednesday, February 4, 2026. Join us for an evening of inspiration (with time built in to catch up with poet-friends over a relaxing beverage–a real happy hour vibe). It all starts at 6pm, with signup open at 5:30. $5 suggested donation.
DISCLAIMER: Any late revisions to event status will be posted on the River City Poets Facebook page, so please check in there before heading out the door!
