Time: 9pm to 12am, Every Thursday
Celebrating 20 years in May 2023 (currently 19 years strong).

For 18 years, this outdoor “open mic-without-a-mic” has welcomed poets, musicians, emcees, comedy, and everything in between. In the best of San Francisco tradition, everyone is welcome, all forms of expression, in any language.

On the southwest streetcorner by the BART station, amidst the pigeons, under the stars.

Support your local streetcorner, and come scream at the void with us!
