There’s lots to do this tonight and tomorrow in the city of Grand Junction.

50107 Summerfest kicks up this evening as co-organizer Linda Hoffman says there is a carnival from 4-10pm at the former school lot and wristbands are available for $20 either at a Jagged Edge or at the beer tent, which also opens at 4pm, and the ride wristbands are good through tomorrow. She points out a new feature is the addition of two water slides, one mainly for adults and a smaller one for kids. 

Additionally, Hoffman says the beer tent is open until midnight, along with free yard games until 10pm, and the musical performance of Burnin’ Sensations will play from 7-11pm, also at the former school lot.
