Kanaka Open mic

Kanaka Open mic was started by Pam Burns on June 15th 2009. The Open mic runs every Wednesday from 5pm to 7.30pm. It is situated at Kanaka Creek Coffee shop, Unit 101, 24155 102 Ave, Maple Ridge, BC V2W 2C6. Kanaka Creek Coffee was opened December 28th 2008 by the Wheeler family. It is a very successful barista-styled coffee house.

Musicians from all around come to Kanaka Open mic to sing songs, play their instruments and there is also poetry and the occasional comic. The format is that the performers can play two songs or have ten minutes to recite poetry or comedy. There is a FACEBOOK page called "Kanaka Open mic/stage" on which you can read about upcoming events and the various musicians that play at the cafe.
