Portland’s favorite night of literary magic, musical surprise, and creative performance returns! Don’t miss this one‑of‑a‑kind event that sells out every year! We will once again fill the historic Mechanics’ Hall ballroom with imagination and delight. Mark your calendar – more details soon!
Evening of Wonder is an immersive and evocative celebration of literary arts, music and performance at Mechanics’ Hall, one of Portland’s oldest and most creative-centered buildings. This special night brings together our vast creative community for an evening of surprise, discovery, and delight to benefit Mechanics’ Hall. In just one evening, and with your help, we hope to reveal everything that’s possible within our walls.
