Hey Palisade! Things are ramping back up this week with local favorite musicians, great food specials, new happy hours, social group meetups, and exclusive looks into a couple wineries, alongside all the usual good stuff happening around town.
See below for the full listing and as always, if you want to be sure your event is included in the weekly listing or if you have any feedback, you can email me at palisadeweeklycalendar@substack.com.
Also: if you’re looking for something local to listen to this week, I have a new podcast episode out on the Postcards From Palisade feed! In episode 33, a couple friends and I chat about a few of the most notorious Grand Valley myths and legends, including the jar of dirt, the thunderbird, and the loudest trains. You can find the episode here or wherever you get your podcasts. And if you have your own local stories to share, I’d love to hear them! You can email me at lisa@postcardsfrompalisade.com.
Cheers!
-Lisa
