The world is full of moments that stop us in our tracks... A spider's web catching the morning light, a stranger's laugh that sounds just like your own, the way a song finds you exactly when you need it.

Small Wonders is an open mic night dedicated to the extraordinary hiding inside the ordinary.

Join us for an evening of creativity and connection in collaboration with Petrichor Collective. Performers are invited to share stories, comedy, music, poetry, or any creative expression inspired by the small, surprising moments that made you look twice at the world around you. Whether tender, funny, philosophical, or fleeting, all mediums and perspectives are welcome!

Guiding the evening will be Slammaster Larry "Booger" Holgerson, a prominent figure in the Fort Collins spoken-word scene. He founded Booger's Poetry Slam in 2005, a long-running staple of the local poetry community that recently found a new home at The Neighbor.

Sign up begins at 5:30 pm, and a PA system will be provided for performers. Come to share your voice, listen to others, and spend an evening rediscovering the magic tucked into everyday life.

Free entry. Donations are appreciated!
