About
Poetry Open Mic Night — with Featured Guests
Step into an evening where words take the stage and every voice matters. Join us for a warm, welcoming night of poetry, storytelling, and spoken word, featuring powerful performances from our special guest poets.
After the features, the mic opens to you — whether you’re a seasoned performer or sharing your work for the first time we want to hear your words that cut, soothe, burn and bloom. Bring your poems, your stories, your truth, or just come to listen and be moved.
Sign up at the door. All voices welcome. No censors. No judgment. Just poetry.
This activity is funded by the City of Barrie for Culture Days 2025
