Open Mic Poetry Night August 30 in Downtown Temple
Open mic poetry night returns to J Kowboy Wine Bar in Downtown Temple Wednesday, August 30.
J Kowboy at 13 E. Ave. B, along with Discover Downtown Temple and the Central Texas School for the Performing Arts, hosts the event each month.
Starting at 8 PM, anyone may step to the microphone and recite an original piece of poetry or prose, or share a piece from a favorite author. You can also just sit back with a glass of wine and listen.
The event is open to the public, but visitors will need to purchase their drinks and food.
