River City Poets are back at Firehouse for an evening of inspiration and camaraderie! We'll kick off the night with time to grab a drink at the bar & reconnect with fellow poet-peeps, then get the poetry rolling with feature performances before ending with an open mic opportunity under the bright lights of Firehouse's center stage.
Stay tuned for announcement of the night's feature poets!
Open mic signup is onsite starting at 5:45pm.
$5 suggested donation at the door.
