Village Music Wellington: Plan a Local Night Out
Trivia, open mic and a blues performance on the cafe’s October calendar

Village Music Wellington offers a way to build an evening around a performance, a trivia team or a turn at the microphone without leaving the village.

 

The cafe’s October calendar mixes recurring weekday activities with weekend acts, giving residents several different reasons to gather on Forest Hill Boulevard.

 

For the week ahead, the useful first step is choosing the kind of night you want, then confirming the details directly with the venue.

 

Three ways to plan the week

 

The venue’s calendar lists Trivia Night with Pizza for Wednesday, October 21, 2026, from 7 to 10 p.m.

 

The event page says food service starts at 6:30 p.m., with trivia beginning at 7.

 

Host Bob Reyers is listed for the evening, which pairs questions with a food menu that includes pizza and other cafe choices.

 

For friends who enjoy comparing answers more than watching a stage, that makes a different outing from a ticketed concert.

 

Call ahead to reserve and ask how the team arrangements work before gathering a group.

 

Do not assume a table is available simply because the event remains on the calendar.

 

Take part, or just listen

 

Thursday, October 22, brings Open Mic Night, listed from 7 to 10 p.m.

 

The venue invites musicians, karaoke singers, poets and stand-up comedians, while also welcoming people who would rather watch.

 

That mix gives a local audience a chance to hear a range of performers rather than a single billed act.

 

If you hope to participate, ask about sign-up, arrival time, equipment and performance limits before bringing instruments or inviting supporters.

 

The published invitation does not guarantee a performance slot or specify every technical arrangement.

 

For a larger audience group, the event page asks visitors to call ahead about a table.

 

Blues on the Saturday calendar

 

For residents looking for live music in Wellington, the cafe lists JP Soars & the Red Hots for Saturday, October 24, from 8 to 11 p.m.

 

The event description identifies Soars as a blues guitarist and links to online ticket purchases.

 

The venue’s biography notes his first-place finish at the 2009 International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

 

Use the full performer name and October 24 date when checking the ticket listing, and confirm the details with the cafe.

 

Before paying, review the current price, fees, seating arrangements and cancellation terms shown at checkout.

 

A calendar entry does not establish that tickets or preferred seats are still available.

 

Keep your confirmation and check for any update before leaving home.

 

Know which details need a phone call

 

Village Music Cafe lists its address as 10410 West Forest Hill Boulevard, Wellington, FL 33414.

 

The venue’s contact number is 561-798-5334, and its published email is info@myvillagemusic.com.

 

Ask directly about access needs, age policies, food service timing or seating if any of those will determine whether the evening works for your household.

 

An event’s start and finish times should not be treated as the business’s complete operating hours.

 

Check the specific event page rather than relying on a general weekly description, especially when planning several days ahead.

 

Make the evening easy to enjoy

 

Agree on the event, date and meeting time before organizing transportation or inviting a larger party.

 

For a performance, allow time to settle in before the billed start and keep conversations considerate of nearby listeners.

 

For trivia, make sure everyone knows whether you are meeting for food first or arriving for the questions.

 

The right local night out starts with a clear plan.

 

Village Music’s calendar provides the choices; a quick confirmation helps turn one into an outing that suits your group.

    I'm less sure about planning trivia without knowing the team arrangements first. Still, having both Wednesday trivia and Thursday open mic on Forest Hill Boulevard gives people a choice.

      That’s a fair point, call ahead about team arrangements and a table before making trivia plans. Wednesday and Thursday do offer two different ways to gather at the cafe.

    We went to an open mic with friends once and ended up staying for the whole evening. It's nice that Village Music welcomes people who only want to watch.

      kim_87That happened to us too. We planned to stay for an hour and kept saying we'd leave after the next person.

      Thanks for sharing that memory. It’s nice to have the option to settle in and enjoy the performances without taking the microphone.

    Does anyone know how big trivia teams can be? We usually have six people, so I guess we should ask when we call about a table.

    I would call before bringing a guitar on Thursday. It would be frustrating to arrive and find out the sign-up list is already full.

      Nina PatelGood call. I'd ask about the sign-up time and whether they have an amp before hauling a guitar over.

      That’s a good idea. The venue hasn’t specified sign-up details or guaranteed slots, so it’s worth asking before bringing your guitar.

    I like that open mic welcomes people who just want to listen. A mix of music, poetry and comedy sounds like a fun way to spend Thursday evening.

      Dave ThompsonSame here. I like being able to drop in and listen without feeling like I have to get on stage.

      We like that, too. Thursday’s open mic welcomes listeners as well as musicians, poets, karaoke singers and comedians.

    Trivia with pizza sounds like an easy Wednesday plan. Knowing food starts at 6:30 helps if our group wants to eat before Bob Reyers starts the questions.

    • MR
      Mason RuleAuthor· Oct 18, 10:59 PM

      That half-hour head start could make dinner easier for your group. Food service is listed for 6:30 p.m., with Bob Reyers hosting trivia from 7.

      Maria G.Eating first sounds smart. Our trivia group gets distracted fast when we're trying to order between questions.
