Calling all poets, writers, storytellers, musicians, and anyone who enjoys a good evening of creativity!
Poetry Night returns to The Cottage Events Venue in Cottage Grove on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, bringing together local writers, performers, and community members for an evening of artistic expression.
This long-running Cottage Grove tradition, originally hosted at Axe & Fiddle, takes place on the third Tuesday of every month and welcomes performers of all experience levels.
Whether you've written poetry for years, have a favorite piece you'd love to share, or simply want to sit back and listen, everyone is welcome.
Participants can sign up when they arrive for up to nine minutes to share poetry, original writing, music, storytelling, or other creative performances. Some gatherings also feature special guest performers.
