This summer, Thursday’s at Gateway Park on the Riverwalk will be a great place to get your weekend started!  Yes, there will be a Farmer’s Market featuring the freshest seasonal produce from local farmers. As a special bonus, the Pueblo Performing Arts Guild and Visual Artists will team up to create a weekly festival of sights and sounds to accompany these delightful summer evenings on the Riverwalk.  Adding to the festivities, during each Farmer’s Market, Pueblo Toyota will be giving away a “Pueblo Performing Arts Guild Evening Out” to two lucky attendees of the event. The Farmer’s Market Festival will begin July 10 and will take place every Thursday, from 4-8pm, through September 18.

The 3rd Annual Main Event will kick off the Farmer’s Market Festival on July 10th at 4pm with a parade featuring the Pueblo Pride City Marching Band. The parade will begin at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center and then proceed through downtown to Gateway Park on the Riverwalk.  At Gateway Park, regional farmers will be standing by with a wide variety of delicious local produce, while Pueblo Visual Artists will have a diverse offering of art from their studios. To cap off this lively festival, The Main Event performers will be singing, dancing, and acting on the Gateway Park stage.  Each Thursday will feature different productions by a broad ensemble of performing artists.
