Open Mic - Totem Bar
A free Flavor Text open mic for folks to express their creative voices in front of bar goers, and to appreciate other creative voices and musicians. Show up early, sign up and mingle, and maybe just maybe you'll have a great time.
Warning: This is a real divey bar with pool tables—some people may be there just to drink or play pool.
OPENING at the Main Street Gallery
The Main Street Gallery is a program of the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council. Exhibit Openings at the Main Street Gallery are always the first Friday of the Month! New exhibits are mounted each month by artists and curators.
Main Street Gallery exhibits run the first Friday of each month, through the last full week of the month.
Main Street Gallery exhibits and Artist Presentations are always free and open to the public!
Live Music @ the New York Cafe
Weekly live music to accompany your dining or drinking. No reservations and the place can fill up quick. Some Fridays might not have a performance, so be forewarned of unexpected cancellations. The playlists on speaker are generally great enough, so either way its worth a Friday night social hour.
