The Downtown Calendar
Events
What the calendar carried when this site was built. Dates are kept as they were published rather than moved forward, because an event page that quietly relabels an old show as upcoming is worse than an empty one.
-
The first Friday of every month, from 5:00 pm Running monthly through 2027 on the published schedule
First Friday Art Walks
Across downtown
Art, eats, and local businesses. On the first Friday of every month the galleries and shops stay open and the street fills up.
-
Two days, all day Held 10 and 11 May 2024
Grand Junction Rides & Vibes
Main Street
A free music festival on Main Street: two stages, a beer garden and a mountain bike event, run with the Greater Grand Junction Sports Commission.
-
Doors 6:30 pm, show 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm Held 23 July 2023
Jeff Tweedy: Solo Acoustic Tour
Avalon Theatre, 645 Main Street
The founder of Wilco, and before that Uncle Tupelo, playing solo at the Avalon.
One Number, Four Answers
What the block field buys, using the Tweedy booking as the worked example.
- The venue
- Avalon Theatre, at 645 Main Street
- Standing outside it
- Germination - A Good Seed by Nathan Johansen, at the same number
- The gift card
- Good at the concession stand here, not at the box office
None of those four records knows about the others today. They are on two websites and three plugins. The only thing needed to join them is the street number every one of them already carries.
Where this comes from: the DDA’s own event pages on downtowngj.org, captured on the dates listed under Sources. The published First Friday schedule runs to 2027; the two one-off events kept the dates they were held. All sources
