The Lafayette Fall Harvest Festival is a fun filled fall event featuring a marketplace with vendors selling seasonal, farm fresh produce, as well as other farmers market type offerings such as handcrafted, artisan foods. Pick up honey, salsas, chocolate, breads, pies, pastries and more! Stop by the food court for some breakfast or lunch. Stroll the event and visit the petting zoo. Pick up a pumpkin or two and feel free to dress up in costume. There will be a parade with pets in costume to benefit RezDawg. Enjoy live music! Hard cider, wine and beer will be available for consumption.

People In General – Fort Collins indie poppers are aptly named for the theme of their upcoming single “icicic.” Seeking universality in songwriting is usually a great idea. If lightning strikes and the writer finds a deeply human moment experienced by not just one demographic, but, well, people in general, that sentiment can make for a great tune.

Tiny Humans – High energy 3 piece band out of Denver with a mix of emo, garage rock, punk and grunge. Tiny Humans consists of Chris Mercer on guitar and vocals, Dave Wolfkowski on bass and Zack Noe on drums. Formed in 2020 over the pandemic, after Chris broke up their previous band Sliver. Dave also plays in a band called Swindlin Hearts and Zack use to play in a band called Alter Girls.

Interpretive Tyranny – Denver Alt Rock band Interpretive Tyranny, Connor on Guitar, Hayden on Drums, Alex on Bass, and Marcus at Lead Vocal.

All Ages!! $10 suggested donation at the door.
Doors: 6:30 PM
Show: 7:00 PM
