Soundtrack of Your Life: Community Edition

Hosted by Michael V. Smith, this unique closing event features a curated selection of local poets sharing original works inspired by an album or song they consider part of their life's soundtrack. Following each reading, an audience volunteer will take the stage to perform a song from that album, creating an evening that weaves together poetry, memory, music, and community in unexpected ways.

We'll wrap up the festival with a joyful karaoke celebration, inviting everyone to sing along and send off another unforgettable Ryga Arts Festival together.
