A page on zenbarnvt.com lists this night, but may not be current.
Weekly on Wednesdays, 9:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
The only source naming this event directly is an unreadable Facebook event page whose URL suggests every Wednesday at 9:30 PM, but it could not be opened or dated. A promoter named Al's Pals runs a similar 'Full Band Open Mic' at Zenbarn in Waterbury Center, checked Aug 13, 2026 [s1]. That page says nothing about the Wednesday night at Charlie-O's. No dated source confirms the open mic here.

A Venue's Website read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Friday night here: the library's poetry open mic runs once a year during April's PoemCity, not weekly on Fridays. Which is current is unresolved — check before travelling. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
An archived capture of the venue's homepage from Feb 23, 2024, before an ownership sale, describes Italian-style pizza and live music but not an open mic [s1]. A capture from May 15, 2025, after the sale, describes Italian-style pizza and live music and also omits an open mic [s2]. The wording is near-identical across both captures. No dated source after 2023 names this open mic.
Local newspaper listings from January, February and March 2026 name the Wednesday open mic and its host, each recent enough to support a currently running weekly event [s1]. The venue's own live calendar shows upcoming instances as far out as Sept 30, 2026, indicating an actively maintained booking rather than an untouched page (checked Aug 12, 2026) [s4].
Weekly on Tuesdays, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A regional weekly arts paper's listings show 'Poultney Pub - Bluegrass Jam,' 7:00 PM, on Tuesdays in 2026, most recently Aug 18, 2026 — five days before the check [s1]. A regional chamber of commerce's events listing confirms a dated instance on Jan 27, 2026, 7:00-10:00 PM, describing a recurring Tuesday open jam [s4]. The venue's own music-events page carries the same description (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s5].
A preview article dated Jun 30, 2026 previews an instance on Thursday, Jul 30, 2026, naming Vermont Timbre as host [s1]. A ticketing-platform listing corroborates an earlier instance on Mar 29, 2026 [s2]. Gaps between dated instances (53 days, then 70 days) fall on varying weekdays, confirming the schedule is genuinely irregular, and no date after Jul 30, 2026 had been posted as of the check (checked Aug 12, 2026).
The promoter's live calendar lists the next instance as Thursday, Aug 20, 2026 (the third Thursday), matching its first-and-third-Thursday text (checked Aug 12, 2026) [s1]. A second dated page shows July 2, 2026, the first Thursday [s2]. A competing page claiming 'every Thursday' carries a dated instance from Sept 18, 2025 that is itself a third Thursday, matching the twice-monthly pattern despite its outdated wording [s3].
Archived captures of the venue's own event page from Jan, May and Oct 2025 each show its calendar auto-advancing to the next Monday — Jan 27, May 26 and Oct 13 — showing a maintained calendar, not a frozen page [s1]. A blog account from March 9, 2024 corroborates the same Monday, 7-9 PM slot [s4]. The most recent capture is about ten months old and the site could not be rechecked, so confidence is medium (checked Aug 13, 2026).
An archived page from web.archive.org lists this night, but may not be current.
Occasional. The Venue's Website has gone offline since we found this.
An archived capture of the venue's own events page, taken Aug 12, 2025, lists four Bluegrass Jam dates in 2024 — Aug 28, Sep 4, Sep 18, and Oct 2 — all Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30 PM [s1]. The dates do not fit a single fixed monthly pattern, so the cadence is recorded as irregular. Current event pages for the series could not be reached to confirm it is still running.

The venue's own event pages show dated instances on Nov 9, 2025, Feb 8, 2026 and Mar 8, 2026, each naming the host with a 2:00 PM start and door signup [s1]. Its upcoming events listing shows an instance on Aug 9, 2026, three days before the check, with no September date posted yet (checked Aug 12, 2026) [s4]. That continues the same second-Sunday pattern, read as normal lead time for a monthly series rather than a lapse.
The venue's own open-mic page still lists upcoming dates through December 2026, with a named host and sign-up and start times (checked Sep 1, 2026) [s1]. Two of the three listed dates, Sept 25 and Oct 23, fall exactly on the stated fourth-Friday pattern; the third, Dec 4, appears to be a holiday-season adjustment.
The library's own event pages show dated instances on Nov 21, 2024, Sept 25, 2025, Dec 16, 2025, Jan 22, 2026 and Mar 26, 2026, most on the fourth Thursday [s1]. Exceptions trace to holidays: Nov 2024 ran a week early since the fourth Thursday was Thanksgiving, and Dec 2025 moved to Tuesday the 16th since the fourth Thursday was Christmas and the nearest one was booked. No August 2026 instance has been confirmed (checked Aug 12, 2026).
Weekly on Tuesdays, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own events calendar lists Doug's Open Mic Night repeating weekly on Tuesdays through July and into the August listing (checked Aug 12, 2026) [s1]. A dedicated event page shows an instance on May 12, 2026 [s2].
Weekly on Fridays, 6:30 PM. Only one source reports it.
A June 1, 2026 newspaper article reported the Open Stage program running an active slate of events that month with support from a regional hospital and a prevention coalition [s1]. The venue's own program page also confirms the weekly Friday cadence directly (checked Aug 12, 2026) [s2].
A Venue's Website read on 2026-09-25 disagrees with the Thursday night here: Stowe Cider's own site shows Friday/Saturday music, not Thursday. Which is current is unresolved — check before travelling. Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The third Wednesday of each month, 6:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
A local community news article dated Jun 2, 2026 reports a Jazz Jam at the venue on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, hosted by Nina Towne and open to all ages to join [s1]. The organizer's own listings confirm both the June 17 and July 15, 2026 instances, each a third Wednesday (checked Aug 12, 2026) [s2].
The sources give the same night and time, but none confirms recent activity.
A community-forum page previously cited for a dated Sept 5, 2025 occurrence has no archived capture and has been removed as evidence. What remains is an archived alt-weekly listing captured Jul 9, 2026 showing the event marked as scheduled, which shows the listing was live five weeks earlier, not that an occurrence happened [s1]. That rules out closure without establishing current activity (re-checked Aug 13, 2026).
Both sources give the same night and time, but neither confirms recent activity.
The venue's own open mic event page still shows Thursday, May 19, 2022 as the listed date, and the page was last edited in January 2025 without that date being updated (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its full events listing shows the same frozen May 2022 date across the board [s2]. Regional sources describe the mic only in general, undated terms, so whether it still runs is unknown.
Occasional (Thursdays). Something about this has changed recently — confirm before going.
The venue's own calendar shows the Lampshade Poets Open Mic set for Thursday, Sept 10, 2026 and Thursday, Nov 12, 2026, both second Thursdays, 6:00-7:30 PM, with October skipped, which rules out a monthly cadence (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s1]. Its series page confirms the same dates [s2]. An earlier date of June 11, 2026 could not be re-verified and was dropped; the September-to-November gap shows the frequency, not the event, was wrong.

The last Tuesday of each month, 7:00 PM. Only one source reports it.
The venue's own events calendar lists Music Open Mic on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 and an upcoming Tuesday, Aug 25, 2026, both labeled as the last Tuesday of the month and both matching the actual last Tuesday of those months (checked Aug 12, 2026) [s1]. The August date falls thirteen days after the check, making this current, forward-looking evidence.
Every other Monday, 6:30 PM; which weeks is unclear. Only one source reports it.

Weekly listings confirm the Bluegrass Etc. Jam with Ben Kogan here on five 2026 Mondays, 6:30 PM: Mar 16, Mar 30, Jun 22, Jul 6, Jul 20 — each a different week, matching a biweekly cadence with no fixed anchor [s1]. Its Aug 12-18 issue instead shows the jam on Tuesday, Aug 18, with no Monday jam in early August, worth a recheck (checked Aug 13, 2026) [s6]. A claimed Wednesday version is not supported — sampled issues never show one.
A local newspaper's listings for July 1-7, 2026 named a Jazz Jam with the Riverside Four for Tuesday, July 7 at 6:30 p.m. [s1]. An earlier listing named a Jazz Jam for Tuesday, April 8, 2025, 6:30-8:30 PM [s2]. The two name different musicians. The same paper's Aug 4, 2026 listings, checked Aug 13, 2026, named no Ottauquechee event at all [s3].
