Draper Honey brings a sweet selection to the Aurora Farmers Market. Shoppers can find 1, 2, and 3 pound honey jars, classic honey bears, and honey stix each week. Creamed honey is offered in limited quantities and may sell out quickly. Other items may be available depending on supply, including paw wax that is useful beyond pet care, flavored honey such as lemon and jalapeño, pollen, honeycomb, and soap. Payments are accepted in cash, and credit cards are also accepted with a fee.

A community farmers market brings together local growers and makers with seasonal produce, baked treats, plants, honey, and other farm-crafted goods. Vendors are required to cultivate, harvest, or create at least 75 percent of what they offer, keeping the focus on true producers. Stroll the stands, meet the people behind the food and flowers, and take home fresh finds straight from the source.

Celebrate the turning of the season with a heart-opening cacao ceremony that honors the Autumn Equinox and the balance between light and shadow.

Arrive exactly as you are and plan to step out feeling centered, refreshed, and in tune with the Earth’s natural rhythms. Cost: $50.

Experience the Noah Gabriel Trio at Sidecar with a set that leans into Noah’s deep catalog. With more than 14 albums behind him, the singer and guitarist mixes original songs with well-loved selections by The Beatles, Chris Cornell, Tears For Fears, Elton John, Pearl Jam and more. Ryan Carney brings an improvisational, cinematic cello voice, at times coloring the sound with distortion and wah for a lead-guitar bite reminiscent of Jimmy Page or Jimi Hendrix. Chris Palmerin ties everything together on a cajon-based percussion setup, keeping the groove tight and light. The trio features Noah Gabriel on guitar and vocals, Ryan Carney on cello, and Chris Palmerin on percussion.
