Karaoke Night #21: Cozy [Event]
Thu, Jan 15 · 6:00 PM EST
Kind Space, 400 Cooper St, Ottawa, ON, CA
REGISTRATION LINK: https://forms.gle/CVf7ZoU5mkjzJwmSA
We will be taking walk-ins due to the late promotion of this event.

Karaoke this month is themed around cozy songs you'd want to sing around the fireplace. However, you can also absolutely choose other songs outside of the theme if you need. This is an all ages event. Children twelve years of age or younger need to be accompanied by an adult. Minors (ages 13-17) will need to provide an emergency contact. Feel free to come in onesies or pajamas!

Maximum Participants: 35 people

We'll be using Youtube karaoke videos on a TV screen or projector screen. In addition, we have two microphones attached to a separate sound system. You can sing in a group, be in a duet, or go solo! When you have your song(s) decided, you can write them down with your name, or tell Lukayo, and you'll be put on the list.

Registration is needed for security reasons, access needs, and food requirements in case we provide snacks for the evening.
