First Storytellers Festival, A Celebration of Native American Theatre
In response to the need for Native theatre artists to work with other Native creatives to develop their shows, First Storyteller’s Festival was created. Each year the festival will develop work for the stage by Native artists from all over Turtle Island, educate the next generation of Native storytellers and help reclaim the narrative for Native stories.
Reverse Tashlich
Reverse Tashlich
Tashlich is a Rosh Hashanah ritual in which Jews begin the new year by symbolically casting off last year's sins by tossing pebbles or bread crumbs into a body of water. In 2016, the college division of Repair the Sea (Scubi Jew®️) at Eckerd College conceived the idea of hosting a Reverse Tashlich, a beach cleanup to remove human "sins" from the water.

Longmont Farmers Market
Longmont Farmers Market
Long before Longmont was know as a bustling tech center, it was sustained by thousands of acres of farmland — starting with the establishment of a flour mill in 1887, and later with the vegetable cannery built in 1889. These days, Longmont farms provide much more than just sugar beets, and preserved farm land in Longmont and beyond helps fill our market with fresh, seasonal vegetables, dairy products, and Colorado-raised meats. We’re proud to be a growers-only market, meaning every product at the Longmont Farmers Market is created locally and sold by the vendors who produce it.
