Grand Junction Events This Weekend (Aug 21-23)

Weekends here have a rhythm once you learn it. In summer, mornings belong to the downtown farmers market on Main Street and the trails before it gets hot. First Friday pulls people into the galleries and shops downtown, and warm-weather nights often mean a show down at the Las Colonias Amphitheater by the river. Palisade is a twenty minute drive for wine and peaches when they're in season. Here's what the local calendar has lined up.
