Here are some local concert venues that are worth checking out.
The Avalon Theatre is somewhere that you have to visit especially if it is for a concert. The rules there aren’t very strict, but some people may think differently. The Avalon Theatre is just like any other normal public place, no outside beverages, no outside food, just basic rules that everyone should follow no matter how old.
Some famous actresses who perform at the Theatre will communicate with the people who paid more for VIP. This means that the VIP people will be able to physically see the actress in person up close and possibly get his or her signature but the only negative thing about the VIP section is that you aren't allowed to bring chairs to sit on, you have to stay standing up. You can sit on the ground if you want you just can’t bring chairs.
The Avalon Theater is located on Main street in downtown Grand Junction. Photo courtesy of Avalon Theater GJ website.
