The Garden Party Open Mic will say goodbye to 2025 with music, community and celebration on Tuesday, December 30, at The Open Studio.
The weekly open mic welcomes everyone, from first-time performers to seasoned musicians. You can expect live music, friendly faces and food from The Garden Bistro Food Truck. Coolers and pets are welcome, making the event a relaxed gathering for the whole community.
The evening will also include a birthday celebration for Greg Dales, one of the original creators of the Garden space alongside his wife, Evelyn. The couple established the artist-friendly venue 15 years ago, helping to foster a supportive environment for local performers. Ownership of the property later transferred to Bob and Lisa, who continue to host open mics and other creative events. Greg and Evelyn remain active supporters and are often found in the Garden during performances.
Bob and Lisa will return this Tuesday, with Roy Michael Choma once again hosting the open mic and providing sound mixing for the night.
Community members are invited to join the celebration, enjoy the performances and help wish Dales a happy birthday as the year comes to a close.
