Who’s the Mic For?

Open to all art forms—poets, singers, musicians, comedians, storytellers, dancers, and more.

We want to hear what you have to say—whether you sing it, joke it, or let your keys/piano speak for you.

Inside is your space to explore and express. Come vibe, connect, and share.

Want to sign-Up to perform?

• Sign ups are: In person, first come, first served.
• Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) voices are prioritized.

Accessibility & Parking

• Wheelchair accessible.
• NOTE: River is a larger venue—so, a larger crowd is expected.
• Parking: There is a lot adjacent to The River, a garage across the street, and free downtown street parking after 7 PM(generally).

Inside is Black-owned, LGBTQIA+-owned, and woman-owned.

“Courage takes vulnerability.” What will you be courageous about?

We cant wait to see you there!
