Join us for an evening of poetry, prose, and music at Hello Darlin’! As part of our Say Anything/Something program stream, IWC is delighted to be hosting the launch of Rina Garcia Chua’s newest book, A Geography of (Un)Natural Hazards (Sampaguita Press, 2026), featuring local writer Cherie Hanson and a special Halloween Open Mic!
Although not required, Halloween-inspired performances are welcome and costumes encouraged! Come celebrate spooky season with IWC.
Entry is a $6 - $10 sliding scale. Doors and Open Mic sign up are at 6:30 pm.
For this event, we will have 5 Open mic spots available. Typically, we have a line outside the door so if you’d like to participate, arrive promptly!
Copies of A Geography of (Un)Natural Hazards will be available to purchase at the event.
This venue is a honky tonk speakeasy found in BNA Brewing at the top of the stairs and through a convenience store’s pop vending machine. Both food and drink will be available from BNA.
There are gender neutral and shared, multi-stall washrooms and the space is wheelchair accessible. Note: If you need to use the elevator to access this venue, please reach out directly to us through DM!
Our programming is made possible by the City of Kelowna, the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan, and Hello Darlin'.
We respectfully acknowledge that we live and work in the unceded, ancestral territory of the Syilx people. It is a privilege to be able to put on events as uninvited guests on their land.
