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.
We’re back at Benchtop Brewing Co (434 Hull St. RVA 23224) for another round of pints and poems! We’ll see you Tuesday, February 10, 6pm. As always, poems of all stripes and topics are welcome, but itt IS that time of year again… so this month we especially invite your love–and anti-love–poems… just in time for Valentine’s.
No cover or RSVP necessary. Open mic signup will be onsite prior to the event.
To round out the month, we’re kicking it at Cafe Zata for our usual fourth Friday night of open mic awesomeness! We’d love to see you and, as with all our open mics, new voices are always welcome! Friday, February 27th, 7pm.
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!
