Fort Collins hosts raw, real-life tales at Fort Stories this March
A live storytelling event is coming to Fort Collins this month. Fort Stories will take place on Sunday, March 22, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Visit Fort Collins in Old Town Square. The evening will feature real people sharing true, personal tales under the theme 'Happy (And-Not-So-Happy) Trails'.
The event encourages storytellers to reflect on travel, personal growth, and unexpected moments. Each story must be based on the speaker's own experiences and kept under seven minutes. Unlike traditional performances, Fort Stories avoids scripts and actors, focusing instead on raw, authentic narratives.
The venue at 7 Old Town Square aims to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Attendees can expect an intimate setting where both listeners and speakers feel at ease. Organisers suggest a $5 donation, but the event remains open to all. No details are available on how many people or groups have taken part in similar events in Fort Collins recently. However, the format stays consistent: real voices, real stories, and a shared connection between the audience and the tellers.
The March 22 gathering offers a chance to hear diverse perspectives on life's journeys. With no formal entry fee and an open invitation, the event invites anyone curious about storytelling to attend. The suggested donation helps support future editions of Fort Stories in the community.
