Weekly Wednesday open mic night with music, comedy and poetry at Kava Culture Kava Bar in downtown Tampa.
Voices of Tampa is a weekly open mic at Kava Culture Kava Bar in downtown Tampa, and it's a long-running fixture on the city's mid-week calendar. It runs every Wednesday night from 8 PM to 10 PM, with dates listed through Wednesday, December 16, 2026. If you're looking for something to do on a Wednesday, it's a consistent spot to keep in mind.
What sets it apart from a typical open mic is the mix. It's not just for musicians; the night brings together music, comedy, poetry, and a few other things in between. Because it's an open mic, the lineup changes every week, and you'll hear a range of styles and experience levels on the same stage. It's the kind of room where a singer-songwriter might follow a stand-up set, which in turn leads into a spoken-word piece. The variety is the whole point.
It's an all-ages room, so it's as much for a group of friends as it is for a family outing. The experience is in person, and parking is free, which makes it easy to drop in without much planning. If you've got something you've been working on, it's a place to get it in front of a crowd; if you just want to listen, you can pull up a chair and see who shows up.
