“Calling all local singers and songwriters, dancers, spoken-word artists, and all types of performers! Join us for a special edition of the artsPlace Open Mic Night...in partnership with Canmore Pride Society!

Enjoy the artsPlace cabaret set-up and sit with your friends in a cozy cafe-style seating to appreciate the performances. Thank you to our partner, Baklabayan YYC, for helping us host the event!

Who is this event for? This event is open to 2SLGBTQIA+ people, and allies are welcome to join us! You don't need to perform to attend—we'd love to have you in the audience, although we encourage you to participate if you'd like. If the event reaches capacity, we ask allies to help us prioritize space for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members.

This event is open to all ages. However, since there may be performances that involve swearing and adult content, we recommend this event for ages 14+. Please come at your own discretion.

What should I bring? Bring your own instruments and be welcome to play the beautiful artsPlace grand piano.

The 2026 Canmore Pride Festival is taking place from September 23 to 28. To view details on this event and learn about other festival events, visit canmorepride.ca.

Thank you to the Government of Alberta for funding this as part of Alberta Culture Days.”
