Wednesday Night Open Mic

The Wednesday Night Open Mic Poetry Reading founded in 1989 as "The Spa City Poetry Reading" and is believed to be the world's oldest continuous Wednesday open mic poetry reading. Printed articles about this local event have appeared in local newsprint, and in publications throughout the U.S. including People Magazine. It is often hosted by the man who founded The Poet’s Loft, Bud Kenney.
