Yoga + puppies at the Stanley

Saturday: Forget goats: rescue puppy yoga has all the animal goodness of that formerly trendy activity, but with the scrappy cuteness of puppies. The first of three Puppy Yoga with Soul Dog Rescue sessions starts Saturday, June 14, at Aurora’s Stanley Marketplace, bringing pups in need of adoption to the vendor-driven venue’s Sky Rink (on the south side of the building).

“Attendees can stretch, smile, and maybe even meet their new best friend when they join us on the Sky Rink … for a heartwarming one-hour yoga session led by the amazing instructors at Rise Yoga & Wellness alongside some very special furry guests from Soul Dog Rescue,” organizers wrote. Sessions will also take place July 12 and Aug. 9.

The event is 8:30-9:30 a.m. at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora. Tickets are $10.61 per person, per session. Call 720-990-6743 or visit stanleymarketplace.com for more information.

Telluride Bluegrass Festival

Thursday-June 22: If you ever wanted to check out the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, 2025 could be your year — seriously! There are still four-day passes and single-day tickets available for sale, as well as some camping passes, a rarity in the fest’s recent history.

The event, coming to Telluride’s Town Park Thursday, June 19-Sunday, June 22, celebrates its 52nd year to the tune of headliners Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Greensky Bluegrass, Lake Street Dive, Sam Bush Band, Punch Brothers and more. Though many of the acts are mainstays on the lineup, a unique one is Toy Factory Project, a super-group of sorts that will perform live for the first time in the box canyon. The group was formed in honor of the late Toy Caldwell, co-founder of Marshall Tucker Band, and features one of his former bandmates plus members Marcus King Band, Blackberry Smoke and more.

Telluride Bluegrass Festival comes to Town Park, 500 E. Colorado Ave. in Telluride, June 19-22. Tickets cost $130 for single-day admission and $405 for a four-day pass. Buy tickets and find more information at bluegrass.com/telluride.
