upcoming events


New venue alert! River City Poets is excited to have been invited back for an encore at Benchtop Brewing Co (434 Hull St. RVA 23224) this May! Join us for another night of open mic fun & a second edition of our community spotlight!

While you’re there, check out all the flavorful tap options and tasty snacks Benchtop has to offer. No cover or RSVP necessary. Open mic signup will be onsite prior to the event.


Open Mic nights south of the river continue on 4th Fridays in Manchester! See you at Cafe Zata on May 26th!

A gentle reminder for any in-person events: as our gatherings are at times under the open sky, they remain dependent on weather, so dress appropriately! Likewise, please abide by any and all COVID public health precautions requested by our individual venues. ALL events are subject to cancellation due to COVID-related escalations/changes in local government policy. Any revisions to event status will be posted on the River City Poets Facebook page, so please check in there before heading out the door!
