Weekly on Wednesdays, 8:00 PM. The Venue's Website does not mention it.
Alley Cat's own home page does not contain the phrase 'Open Artistic Stage,' and a guessed events page showed an error (checked Aug 2026) [s1]. This event was previously also corroborated by a local arts-news site, which was not reexamined this time.
A poetry festival's own event page confirms 'Your Turn Open Mic' at Fire Historical and Cultural Arts Collaborative, 1249 Portage St., Kalamazoo, with a dated instance on Friday, Apr 10, 2026, 7–9 PM, emceed by Dane [s1]. The page notes 'we are splitting the open mic up into two weeks this year,' a scheduling change that is not fully resolved but is not a sign of closure.
The Kalamazoo Valley Blues Association's own website is confirmed active, currently promoting its Blues Fest 2026 on July 10–11 and other 2026 events [s1]. A previously read schedule feed from the same organization showed four of five upcoming 2026 instances of this blues jam on Thursday and one on Saturday, with none on Sunday; that feed could not be re-read this time, but no evidence was found to change that Thursday-anchored reading.
A page on kvba.org lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
Old Dog Tavern's own home page does not corroborate an open mic, and its events and calendar pages showed errors (checked Aug 2026). The venue is confirmed active: it is hosting a blues society's own Blues Fest 2026 on July 10-11 [s1]. That is a separate, one-off event, not evidence of a standing Tuesday open mic. The sole basis for this listing remains an open-mic listing site entry about a year old.
