upcoming events


We’re back at Benchtop Brewing Co (434 Hull St. RVA 23224) this May for another night of open mic awesomeness! Come hang out, share, listen, meet new friends and catch up with old ones. We’d love to have you join us! Tuesday, May 12.

No cover or RSVP necessary. Open mic signup will be onsite prior to the event.


Meet us at Firehouse the next night! Poetry Happy Hour is Wednesday, May 13, 6pm. Always 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’ll see you again in Manchester later this month for our usual fourth Friday night of open mic awesomeness at Cafe Zata! As with all our open mics, new voices are always welcome! Friday, May 22, 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!
