We’re opening up the stage to you, our local writers, poets and storytellers!
It’s time for another OPEN MIC — from 7:00-9:00 p.m. — at Barley Mow Pub in Almonte!
Join us for local stories, performances, and poetry in the semi-private second floor room overlooking the Mississippi River. Enjoy delicious food and drinks! Donations welcome at the door.
Do you have a piece that's a work in progress? A polished story or poem? All work* is welcome. If you are interested in participating, there will be 5-minute slots available. Priority will be given in the order of those that sign up upon arrival.
If you are not a writer or not ready to read a piece aloud we warmly welcome listeners, too. Bring your friends and lend an ear.
* Ensure stories do not include anything that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or graphically violent.
The 2026 Open Mic events are presented with funding support by the Community Impact fund of the Municipality of Mississippi Mills.
