A warm, family-friendly stage for young performers to shine 🎤✨

Family Open Mic Night is Art Play Café's monthly celebration of young performers, held the first Friday of every month from 5–6pm. Whether your kid has been practicing a song for weeks or wants to hop up on a whim, this is their stage — and yours is the front row.

Open to musicians ages 0–18 (yes, really — toddlers welcome), performers can take the stage solo or be accompanied by an adult 18 or older. Local music teachers Julia Cramer and Tyler Johnson host the evening and are on hand to provide optional accompaniment, with sound equipment and instruments available for anyone who needs them.

No advance signup, no pressure — just show up, sign up, and cheer each other on.

What to expect:

• Free to perform, free to watch

• Walk-up signups starting at 4:30pm

• Performances from 5–6pm

• Hosted by music teachers Julia Cramer and Tyler Johnson

• Sound equipment and instruments available for performers who need them

Who it's for: Musicians ages 0–18 — soloists or accompanied by an adult. Whether your little one is banging a shaker or your teenager is debuting an original song, every performer gets a stage and an audience that's genuinely rooting for them.
