Live Music, Open Mic & More!
JULY 4, 7 PM – 10 PM
CaRaVaN at the Cube runs every Monday through September 19 (except July 18 during the Winnipeg Fringe).
CaRaVaN is an entirely volunteer-run, "Anything Goes" open mic that has been running every week for over 10 years. Music of all genres, spoken word, comedy, magic, dance, storytelling, or any other unique performances could hit the stage. CaRaVaN welcomes artists with a wide range of skill levels!
Sign up begins at 6:30 PM, with the show running 7 to 10:00 PM. Musicians performing will get 2 songs, while all others will have approximately 5 minutes to do their thing.
We ask you to maintain a reasonable distance from folks you don't know. Mask use may make some feel more comfortable, so please wear them if you'd like!
During extreme weather, we may decide last minute to move to X-Cues Cafe & Lounge or do a virtual-only event.
