Evening Under the Stars

Annual Free Concert in Las Colonias

Join us for a magical night of music under the open sky as the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra presents its beloved Evening Under the Stars—a cherished Grand Valley tradition now in its 34th season! THIS EVENT IS FREE BUT A TICKET IS REQUIRED. Hurry! EUTS sells out every year.

Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and favorite people to Las Colonias Amphitheater for this free, family-friendly concert that blends community spirit with musical excellence. The Las Colonias doors open at 5:00 PM on August 22nd. Music kicks off at 6:30 PM with a performance by the Grand Junction Centennial Band, followed by the full Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra and Western Colorado Chorale at 7:30 PM.

The program will feature a vibrant mix of patriotic favorites, pops hits, and timeless classical pieces, performed by the valley’s finest musicians. Food trucks and beverages as well as GJSO merch will be available for purchase at the event.
