On Wednesday, January 27 at 7:00 p.m. the Festival of Words hosts Pieces Of Hope Virtual Open Mic on Zoom!  For sixteen years, the festival has hosted the Grand Coteau based event featuring writers, musicians and storytellers.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the creative community will gather online.  Coming together is an act of hope; come to share or just to listen and enjoy. The two-hour open mic presents twenty writers and musicians, each performing for five minutes.  Performers are from Lafayette, and all over the country!

Make yourself a drink, grab some cheese and crackers and sit back to enjoy some exquisite performances that will soothe, entertain and enlighten.
