Riviera Beach Youth Empowerment Program Launches Open Mic Nights for Local Teens 

RIVIERA BEACH, FL (May 14, 2025) – The City of Riviera Beach’s Youth Empowerment Program is thrilled to announce its new Open Mic Nights, designed exclusively for students in grades 6–12. Taking place every 3rd Friday from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Riviera Beach Public Library, this exciting event offers teens the perfect opportunity to unwind, connect, and express themselves in a fun and supportive environment.
