Open Mics in Maine

The venue's own live events page confirms an 'Original Music Open Mic' every Monday, 7-11 PM, with 6:30 PM sign-ups (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. That matches what is listed here. The same page separately lists a Thursday comedy and trivia hybrid event as distinct programming at the same venue.

The same venue events page confirms 'Comics Against Humanity,' formerly called Tight Fives, a Thursday 7-9 PM comedy and trivia hybrid hosted by Carlo Rojas, current and distinct from the venue's Monday music open mic (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The sources give the same night and time, but none confirms recent activity.

Occasional.

Mayo Street Arts' page shows one instance, Friday, Oct 14, 7:30-9:30 PM, but Oct 14 only fell on a Friday in 2022 (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. An archive shows the page was never updated after 2023 [s2]. Ticket listings confirm a real recurring series, dated 2021-2024. One of those, a Feb 9, 2024 'Valentine Extravaganza,' is search-surfaced [s3]. Every instance is over two years old; cadence stays irregular.

A listing on allevents.in lists this night, but may not be current.

Newscapes Brewing's own website again showed no readable content (checked Aug 13, 2026). An events listing for a Newscapes open mic showed a permanently-removed error, expected for a past one-off date, neither confirming nor refuting an ongoing series [s1]. An open-mic listing site remains the only source for day and time, and the venue's mix includes a separate comedy event, so the format is unclear.

The venue's own upcoming-shows page, read directly, lists four monthly open-mic instances — Sep 2, Oct 7, Nov 4, and Dec 2, 2026 — each with a named rotating host; all four dates are confirmed as Wednesdays and each is the first Wednesday of its month, matching the claimed monthly, 1st-Wednesday cadence (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The sources give the same night and time, but none confirms recent activity.

The library's own current Highlights page makes no mention of 'Moose' storytelling (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its Events page is silent on it too [s2]. The original event page now redirects to the site's homepage. A regional storytelling directory confirms the Maine Organization Of Storytelling Enthusiasts still meets monthly on the second Wednesday nearby, but names no venue [s3]. Whether the library remains its host is in doubt.

Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.

An archived copy of the Equality Community Center calendar shows a dated page for nearly every Tuesday from late 2022 to Dec 16, 2025, excluding a short-lived series (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s2]. For 2026, the same archived copy shows zero dated pages, a sharp break [s2]. The venue's most recent dated event page is from Jul 29, 2025, about 13 months earlier [s1]. That is too old to confirm continuation into 2026.

Weekly on Sundays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

The venue's own undated page was dated using an archive of past captures: ten captures from 2024-2026 show real, differing content rather than a frozen template, and the most recent, from May 18, 2026, about three months earlier, still reads 'Sunday at 7pm! Hosted by Dave Jacquet' (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1].

The sources disagree on the night.

An archived capture of the community center's own page, from Oct 15, 2025, lists 'Open Mic - the 2nd and last Friday of each month, 5-8 pm, FREE' (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A Mar 25, 2026 news article lists 'Open Mic Night' among the center's programs [s3]. A Feb 2025 TV story, naming the host, describes the same format [s2]. An earlier last-Friday-only claim likely reflects a later expansion to twice monthly.

A regional chamber of commerce's own calendar page lists five 2026 dates for this open mic — Jun 25, Jul 9, Jul 23, Aug 6, and Aug 20 — each confirmed as a Thursday and 14 days apart, an every-other-Thursday cadence at 7 PM, with Aug 20 still ahead (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. All five fall in summer; whether the mic continues off-season or is summer-only is unconfirmed, in a town known for seasonal tourism.

A page on mainesongwriters.org lists this night, but may not be current.

Weekly on Tuesdays, 8:00 PM. Only one source reports it.

The only source here, a Maine musicians' group's open-mic list, is undated, its only archived capture from 2016, too old for current activity (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A search found generic confirmation of a Tuesday 8 PM open mic, but also an undated comment on a discontinued 'Paul's Tuesday night open mic,' reviewers asking its return. Neither is dated, so whether any current program is this one, lapsed, or replaced is unclear.

The sources disagree about whether it still runs.

An open-mic listing site's page for Unity House of Pizza confirms Tuesday, 6:30 PM, but is stamped 'last updated' 12 months earlier, too long ago by itself to confirm the event is still weekly (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. The same site's calendar lists the venue on Aug 18 and 25, 2026, but that's a repeating template projecting the day forward, not real evidence [s3]. A genuine Jan 2024 social media post doesn't help currency [s2].

A listing on allevents.in lists this night, but may not be current.

Occasional.

Individual event pages for Feb, Mar, and Apr 2025 instances of this open mic are gone, and no 2026 confirmation was found (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. An unverified claim elsewhere says the event is 'currently on pause,' untraceable to any source, not used as evidence. Two local news outlets, checked directly, show no coverage of this pub's open mic, consistent with a small, undercovered event rather than proof it doesn't exist.

Both sources list this event, but neither confirms recent activity.

A news story from January 2024 confirms a Wednesday night open mic at Mainely Brews hosted by Rob Burnell (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. A matching video page confirms the story is genuine [s2]. The story is real, not fabricated, but about two and a half years old — too old by itself to show the open mic is still happening, with no 2025-2026 corroboration. The Venue's Website could not be loaded; its security certificate had expired.

A listing on openmikes.org lists this night, but may not be current.

An open-mic listing site's live August 2026 Maine calendar lists Westbrook On Tap on the 14th, 21st, and 28th, all confirmed Fridays (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. This is a genuine upcoming listing but cannot alone establish current activity. No independent, dated confirmation was found: a newspaper mention appears only in a blocked page's search snippet, and a matching social media caption could not be verified as genuine.
