About this Event

Fall 2026 is going to be lendary! Come through Creatives' to kick off the fall with an open mic closed out by singer-songwriter Christopher Burkholder. It's all going down at Venice Island Performing Arts Center. DJ Ant G and the Creatives' House Band will be there to keep the open mic vibes going. Mike Weatherbe will be your host to keep the evening moving forward. Doors Open at 6:45 PM.

Creatives' Pier is an intentionally designed, cross-genre, open-mic, showcase styled, performance and networking event.

Come to hear from and connect with artists from across the city who are already making a profound impact on the culture. Come early to drop you name in the buckets for a chance to get on the list to perform and make your mark on the audience.

Hear & see different artistic expressions that help make our city one of the most eclectic and unique places on earth. The event will feature more than a dozen unique artists in 90 minutes on the open mic side before the final closing feature, Christopher Burkholder will perform right around 9:00 PM. There will be light refreshments available through our vendors.

Come enjoy the atmosphere, in-house vendors, and love from our team. We hope to see you there. Ticket prices increase as we get closer to the event, so grab yours ASAP to save. Support tickets are always available as well.
