An Afternoon in Bloom
Set in Fountain Creek Regional Park, this outdoor gathering blends a guided scenic hike, a styled picnic with refreshments, and a creative session to paint a terracotta flower pot. The experience invites participants to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature. Tickets are $30 and include the guided hike, picnic refreshments, a terracotta pot to decorate, a plant and soil to take home, and all necessary art supplies. Attendance is limited to 20 guests to keep the setting intimate. Comfortable walking shoes and a water bottle are recommended, and depending on the weather consider sunscreen or a hat, plus a light blanket if desired. This event is weather dependent, and in the case of severe conditions attendees will be notified 24 hours in advance with rescheduling details. Whether attending solo or with friends, guests can look forward to a calm, creativity-filled afternoon.
Fountain Creek Regional ParkThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Presented by the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center, this musical staging of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz takes the stage at Pueblo Memorial Hall. Dorothy’s journey down the Yellow Brick Road unfolds with energetic choreography, colorful costumes, and the story’s familiar characters. Blending warmth, humor, and lively dance, it is suited for families and fans of classic tales. Tickets are available through Pueblo Memorial Hall, and members can request a promo code at the front desk for a 10 percent discount.
Pueblo Memorial HallPig Lightning and more
Pig Lightning and Zonk share the stage for an all-ages show with a $5 cover. Zonk, a New Mexico duo featuring guitarist Paul DeHaven and drummer Robin Chestnut, unleashes free-rock that ranges from concise bursts to expansive freakouts, pairing searing guitar with heavy, hard-hitting drums. Their self-titled release from Island House includes B, a centerpiece that drifts through hazy textures before surging into a turbulent, gritty close. Pig Lightning, formed by Ben Gallagher and Robin Chestnut after collaborating in multiple projects and living together, channels their wilder ideas into a set that leans about 60 percent original material and 40 percent warped pop covers, shaped by a vivid, unusual sound and daring, off-kilter rhythms.
Blo Back GalleryWriters' Night, South in Pueblo!
Please note there has been a change in venue. This two hour meetup at The Senate Bar & Grill brings together writers of all experience levels for conversation, community, and practical support. Participants guide the discussion while a host keeps things organized, covering topics such as crafting query letters, finding an agent, and celebrating recent accomplishments. It offers a friendly place to share expertise, connect with peers, and build ongoing relationships with other authors in Pueblo. The event information also introduces Monica, a former travel nurse who came to Southern Colorado by way of Kentucky. She began a memoir during the COVID pandemic and, after pitching her project at a workshop, secured representation with Kat Kerr of the Donald Maass Literary Agency. After encountering limited literary resources in Pueblo, she found community through Pikes Peak Writers in Colorado Springs and hopes this local spin off on the historic riverwalk will be a meaningful asset for the area.
