The Avalon Theatre is a historic performing arts and event venue located at 645 Main Street in downtown Grand Junction, Colorado, at the corner of 7th and Main.

The main auditorium seats up to 1,096 guests and has hosted local and national entertainment ranging from concerts and comedy to film screenings and weddings.
