The tourism board's own event page, checked again and read directly, lists a upcoming instance for Sunday, Sept 6, 2026, 6 to 9 PM -- a week ahead of the Aug 31, 2026 check -- while an older date on the same page, Dec 14, 2025, shows the series running since then [s2]. An arts council's calendar confirms the same event on Aug 2, 2026 [s1].

An arts council's own calendar carries three dated Tuesday instances of this open mic in August 2026: Aug 4, 11, and 18 [s1]. That is enough to call it currently active. A further calendar entry for this venue on July 14, 2026 adds some corroboration, though that entry's event type could not be confirmed as the open mic. This is not the Venue's Website, so confidence is moderate rather than high.
The sources give the same night and time, but none confirms recent activity.
The Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council's own arts calendar (checked Aug 15, 2026) confirms this venue is active through other listed events on Aug 8 and 14, 2026, but every one of the council's recurring 'Open Mic' calendar entries points to three other Ketchikan venues, not this one [s2]. The Venue's Website could not be read [s3]. An open-mic listing site names this open mic [s1].
Thursdays, 8:00 PM. How often is unclear. Only one source reports it.

An arts council's own calendar carries entries for this named 'Totem Bar Open Mic' dated August 2026 (Aug 6, 13, and 20) [s1]. The same calendar also carries an entry from Oct 31, 2024 [s2]. That spans nearly two years. Another description of the venue also says it 'supports local talent with Karaoke & Open Mic weekly,' without citing the calendar. This agreement supports the mic being currently active.
