Welcome to 5th Saturdays at the Two Way Street Coffee House! Saturdays are special! An extra Saturday in a month comes around only a few times a year, so we decided to commemorate each one with a special event. 5th Saturdays in 2024 occur in March, June, August and November.
For our November event, Two Way Street Coffee House, in partnership with the Plank Road Folk Music Society, is pleased to present “Little Epiphanies” a songwriting workshop with Jenny Bienemann on November 30, 2024, from 2-4pm CT.
This event will be virtual and in-person attendance. The admission price is $25 per participant and will be limited to 25 in-person attendees.
