Michael DePaola Literary Salon and Open Mic – October 2025

Join us for a special Halloween edition of the Michael DePaola Literary Salon & Open Mic, hosted by Jessica P. Wick, for a miscellany of mythic and moving works from invited guest readers to a poetry and prose open mic featuring your creativity, and yes, musicians are welcome. The special guest reader for the night is Ricardo Rebelo, a horror writer and filmmaker based in Fall River. The event will begin at 6:30 and wrap up around 8. Sign up in advance to ensure you have a slot and let us know what you’re interested in sharing: poetry, prose, a scene from a play, or a song from your heart. This special edition of the event will be held at the gazebo in Wilcox Park overlooking the Poet’s Tree planted in Michael’s honor.
