Open Mic at Toronto Reference Library (Music, Poetry & Storytelling)

Step up to the mic or settle into the audience at the Toronto Reference Library's open mic night in the heart of Yorkville and the Downtown Yonge area. Whether you're a seasoned local musician, an emerging poet, or a passionate storyteller, this welcoming space invites creators of all skill levels to share up to five minutes of their work in the ground-floor Browsery.

Guitar and piano are provided on-site, making it easy to drop in and play. Sign-ups begin early at 5:30 PM, so you'll want to arrive promptly to secure your spot on the roster. It's a fantastic, low-stakes way to experience local grassroots talent right inside one of the city's most iconic architectural landmarks. Grab a coffee nearby on Yonge Street before heading over, and support Toronto's vibrant community of artists and writers.
