We’re kicking off 2026 with poems and pints! Join us at Benchtop Brewing Co (434 Hull St. RVA 23224) as we raise a glass to inspiration, community, and a new year! Tuesday, January 13, 6pm.
No cover or RSVP necessary. Open mic signup will be onsite prior to the event.
After missing out on our regular 4th Friday open mic last month, we’re psyched to be back at Cafe Zata in January for another night of open mic awesomeness. As with all our open mics, new voices are always welcome! Friday, January 23rd, 7pm.
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!
