FREE Online Event for All Ages

  • Date: 08/07/2020 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.  
  • Location: Online Via Zoom (Link TBD)

The Simi Valley Youth Council will hold its second Virtual Open Mic Night beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 7, 2020. This is a free community event for all ages.  Vocalists, musicians, comedians, poets, magicians, and more are encouraged to participate in this fun evening to showcase our talented community performers.  Family friendly performances only!  

Register in advance to either perform live or to be a member of the virtual audience.  Once registered, performers and audience members will receive the Zoom login information.  All individual and group acts must comply with State of California issued COVID-19 and social distancing orders. For questions regarding this event, email the Youth Council Coordinator.

Due to COVID-19 closures and the social/emotional impacts on the entire community, the Youth Council felt hosting interactive virtual events would be a creative way for teens and community members to come together while remaining safe and socially distanced.
