ZACH Theatre presents the ageless classic Pinocchio. Meet Geppetto, a simple carpenter, who dreams of having a son, and Pinocchio, his puppet, who dreams of being a boy. Share in their adventures as Geppetto is swallowed by a whale, then cheer for Pinocchio as he searches for the courage to save him. It’s a wonderful lesson in honesty for those whose noses don’t grow every time they tell a fib, and a lovely tale of what it means to be a family.
This weekend you can attend an iconic arts festival, one of the biggest folk and Americana festivals, participate in a stand up paddleboard race, see some free movies, hunt for eggs, take the kids to the theatre and a whole lot more!

Water is one of the central components of life on earth. It also happens to be really fun to play around in. Thus, the 5th Annual Colorado River Ramble & Family Water Festival makes perfect sense. To put it plainly, it’s just a good idea. Seriously, who doesn’t like to frolic around in a nice body of water? Weirdos, that’s who.
