On Open Mic nights, musicians and music lovers unite to share songs, inspiration and just plain old good times in the casual, intimate atmosphere of the Winnipeg Folk Festival’s Folk Exchange venue. Each night will feature guest hosts from Manitoba Music’s roster of musicians. Non-players will be charged a $2 cover and doors open at 7:00 pm. Open Mic nights are presented in partnership with Manitoba Music.
