A Place Where Grand Junction History Takes Center Stage

Built for the citizens of Grand Junction by local publishing giant Walter Walker in 1923 the Avalon Theatre was, and still is, one of Western Colorado's largest Performing Arts Halls. With Grand Junction being centrally located between Salt Lake City and Denver, the Avalon is a perfect fit as a show point for major acts between cities.

World-renowned artists such as Al Jolson, The John Philip Sousa Orchestra, Ethel Barrymore, Collective Soul, Lyle Lovett, John Prine and Pat Benetar have graced our stage. We also feature a Foreign and Independent Film Series, dance, theatrical, lecture, variety shows and private functions. The theatre is currently under on-going renovations to beautify and restore the facility. The façade and lobby areas have been completely restored to their original 1923 splendor. We invite you to come by and see restoration progress, and enjoy some the talent and entertainment Grand Junction has to offer.

Seating just over a thousand people and with its unique layout, the Avalon offers its patrons an intimate theatre experience with excellent acoustical quality and great visibility of the stage! We truly believe that every seat in the house is a "good one"! The Avalon Theatre is open year round.

If you are looking for a venue for your next event the Avalon may be just what you are looking for. We offer a wide array of rental options to fit your needs. The Avalon Theatre is located in the Downtown Shopping Park at 645 Main Street.
