We’re opening up the stage to you, our local writers, poets and storytellers!
Come one, come all! We’re back again for another OPEN MIC — from 7:00-9:00 p.m. — at Bridge Masters Brewing Company in Perth!
Join us for local stories, performances, and poetry in the spacious main room, and enjoy delicious food and drinks! Donations welcome at the door.
NEW for this event and for others this year, we’re welcoming different emcees from the community to serve as host! This time around, Perth Writers’ Group member Emmet Cameron will guide the night. We’re excited to welcome Emmet and all the writers out for a great evening of sharing and conviviality.
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.
