Creatives' Pier | Outdoor Open Mic ft. Eluzai

Creatives' is back outside again in August! Join us on Tuesday August ??? for our second outdoor Creatives' Pier of 2026. This is our sixth year in a row hosting our outdoor open mic events at Venice Island Performing Arts Center.

DJ Ant G and the Creatives' House Band will be there to keep the open mic vibes going. Mike Weatherbe will be your host to keep it rolling. We'll also have Philly artist and Creatives' regular on the open mic, Eluzai ending the night as our closing feature. Doors Open at 6:45 PM.

Creatives' Pier is an intentionally designed, cross-genre, open-mic, showcase styled, performance and networking event.

Come to hear from and connect with artists from across the city who are already making a profound impact on the culture. Come early to drop you name in the buckets for a chance to get on the list to perform and make your mark on the audience.

Hear & see different artistic expressions that help make our city one of the most eclectic and unique places on earth. The event will feature more than a dozen unique artists in 90 minutes on the open mic side before the final closing feature, Eluzai will perform right around 9:00 PM. There will be light refreshments available through our vendors.

Come enjoy the atmosphere, in-house vendors, and love from our team. We hope to see you there. Ticket prices increase as we get closer to the event, so grab yours ASAP to save. Support tickets are always available as well.

Open Mic Sign Up:

Doors will open at 6:45 PM. The sign up buckets will be made available at entry until 7:15 PM. We'll draw half the names from the buckets our first performance will kick off on stage at 7:20 PM. Midway through the event we'll pull the second half of names that'll perform on the event. Please note the buckets will likely fill-up quickly so be sure to get there early if you'd like the chance to perform!

Rain Location

If we have bad weather, Creatives' Pier will simply move inside Venice Island's state of the art theatre on location. The date, time and address are all the same.
