The Arbol Farmers Market is a year-round market in Paonia that accepts SNAP and Double Up Bucks and offers local organic produce, flowers, fruit, herbs, honey, meat, breads, artisan goods, and more. One of the highlights of our market is a donations-based, locally-sourced meal prepared by the Learning Council.

Our summer market runs every Tuesday from May 13th to October 14th at Paonia Town Park, from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM for most of the season, with hours shifting to 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM starting September 2nd. It’s a lively community event with live music, wood-fired pizza, and educational opportunities throughout the season.

Join us for our weekly Friday afternoon club at the AMERICAN LEGION at 97 N. 3rd St. in Carbondale. There will be live music from 5 to 7 weekly, and a burger, a beer and a bag of chips for $10. We also have horseshoe pits, cornhole, and shuffleboard for some summer fun. This event is open to the public every Friday.

Kreutzer is a genre-blending production that fuses three masterworks—Beethoven’s Kreutzer Sonata, Tolstoy’s incendiary novella The Kreutzer Sonata, and Janáček’s String Quartet No. 1—into a provocative tale of jealousy and redemption. Set aboard a train with no clear beginning or end, the production immerses audiences in a powerful emotional landscape. The haunting score also features music by Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Ljova, and Tavener.

Premium Tickets are $60, General Admission is $45, Student/Industry tickets are $20. Tickets can be purchased online at www.thunderrivertheatre.com or by calling 970-963-8200. For more information on the production, visit https://www.benfengmusicproductions.org/kreutzer.
