Jan 3    Arroyo Grande Farmers' Market


As the roosters roam and crow around the Arroyo Grande City Hall building, you really get the feeling of country at this downtown market. Artists are selling their wares by the creek-side and musicians fill the air with music.

The setting couldn’t be a more enticing venue to stroll through Farmers’ Market and stock up for the week with the freshest and most abundant produce around. It’s located right at the footbridge in old downtown Arroyo Grande, giving this country market a small urban-like feel.

Every Saturday from 12:00 noon to 2:30 p.m., come sample the Farm Fresh Produce & Flowers, Art Show and Live Entertainment in the Parking Lot at 215 East Branch Street. We offer a veritable symphony of freshly grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. The market also features quality items from local artists.

Jan 25    Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Goin' courting has never been as much fun as in this rip-roaring stage version of the popular MGM movie. Set in Oregon in 1850, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers tells the story of Millie, a young bride living in the 1850's Oregon wilderness. Her plan to civilize and marry off her six rowdy brothers-in-law to ensure the success of her own marriage backfires when the brothers, in their enthusiasm, kidnap six women from a neighboring town to be their brides. Bursting with the rambunctious energy of the original film, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is all boisterous fun and romance that harkens back to the glory days of the movie musical.
