Mercury Legacy Jazz Jam & Poetry Open Mic

For decades, Denver’s Mercury Cafe fostered a cherished tradition of live jazz, spoken word, and community. As the historic building closes, The Karma House helps carry that spirit forward with an evening that weaves music and poetry into a shared experience. The night begins with an open jazz jam alive with improvisation, collaborative energy, and soulful sound, then shifts to a poetry open mic where seasoned voices from Denver’s scene and first-time performers share the stage. More than a typical open mic, this gathering continues a Denver institution that has flourished for over thirty years, creating a space where art, music, vulnerability, resistance, storytelling, and community meet in real time. The atmosphere blends smoky jazz textures, surprising partnerships, laughter and heartbreak, sparks and tenderness, experimentation, and moments that affirm why spaces like this matter. It brings together those who spent years at The Merc and those discovering the tradition for the first time to honor legacy, resilience, and renewal through art. The Karma House is a kava bar and community gathering space in Lakewood focused on connection, creativity, healing, and belonging, hosting a wide range of events that include live music, workshops, movement classes, support groups, comedy, poetry, art, and community gatherings. It serves kava, a traditional plant beverage from the Pacific Islands used ceremonially and socially for generations in cultures including Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga, and Samoa, with acknowledgement of the Indigenous Pacific Island communities who have stewarded these traditions for centuries.

New this season, SUP Yin Yoga offers a calm, contemplative experience on the water at Bear Creek Lake Park in the City of Lakewood. Designed as a gentler alternative to traditional paddleboard yoga, it centers on deep relaxation and mental clarity.

Prolonged stretches can support joint circulation and flexibility as the lake’s quiet movement and the soft light near sunset help settle the nervous system and encourage reflection.

She has offered tarot and astrology since 2018 and focuses on supporting people moving through grief or uncertainty. Her intention is for clients to leave with strength, clarity, knowledge, and a sense of peace. Her guiding principle is “seek peace and pursue it.” Tarot appointments blend tarot and oracle cards with intuitive insight.

For astrology sessions, provide date of birth, town of birth, and birth time if possible for everyone included.

Temple Sinai Brotherhood Annual Golf Tournament

Enjoy a day of golf, community connection, and giving back in support of Jewish youth. Hosted each year by the Temple Sinai Brotherhood, this event raises funds for Israel Study Tour scholarships that help teens deepen Jewish identity, strengthen connections to Israel, and build leadership skills. Past recipients have called the IST experience life changing, and charitable support plays a crucial role. In response to rising challenges of antisemitism and the complex world children face, the mission expands this year to uplift the broader Temple Youth Community, including local youth programs and gatherings, with plans to support new Religious School activities and events following the arrival of the new Director of Education, Rabbi Jordy Shaner. Golfers of all experience levels and community supporters can get involved by registering to play, sponsoring the event, or making a donation, and even a Chai gift of $18 can make a meaningful difference. The aim is to come together on and off the course to invest in a strong, vibrant future for the next generation.

2026 Colorado State Cornhole Championships

The thirteenth running of the Colorado State Cornhole Championships fills two days with six competitions, including a new four-player teams format offered in two divisions. The weekend features three divisions of singles, women’s and blind draw brackets, coed doubles, and three divisions of doubles. Food trucks will be on site, and first and second place trophies are awarded in every bracket. Eligibility is limited to Colorado residents. Division placement follows PPR from the most recent 120 days at registration, or all-time overall if a 120-day PPR is not available. Players may choose to move up a division, and event directors may move players up to ensure appropriate placement. A one-time $10 venue fee is charged per player for the entire weekend. Venue policies include water only in reusable containers, no tailgating or drinking in the parking lot with forfeiture of registration fees and removal for violations, bring your own chairs, and no vaping indoors. Payouts are set at 80 percent for all Open divisions, including the Open Teams event, Coed, Ladies, and Blind Draw. Competitive divisions, including the 31 PPR cap Teams event, pay out at 60 percent. Intermediate divisions pay out at 40 percent. The Teams event uses the Scoreholio MLP format, with squads of four that do not need to be from the same club. Two brackets are available, one Open with no PPR limits and one capped at a 31 PPR average. For the capped bracket, the player with the lowest PPR should register first to set the team’s average. Matches consist of two singles games and one doubles game, with two round robin games used to seed a double elimination bracket. Singles are worth one point and doubles are worth two, so winning one singles and the doubles secures the match. Each player competes in exactly one game per round. If a match is tied, a crew cup tiebreaker with all eight players decides the winner. Teams may change who plays singles or doubles each round to suit their strategy. Clubs from across the state are represented, including Colorado Baggers, Pikes Peak Cornhole, and NoCo Cornhole, among many others. The competition takes place at 3rd Shot Pickleball Denver.
