Celebrate age at Grand Junction BeaconFest

Celebrating age in its 23rd year, BeaconFest returns to Grand Junction Convention Center on Thursday, April 18, 2024, from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

BeaconFest is Colorado’s largest and funnest celebration for seniors, baby boomers and their families. Live music, food samples, educational seminars and prize giveaways every half hour treat visitors to a fun-filled day of learning and entertainment—all for FREE! 

Visitors can register for fabulous prizes, including vacation packages, hot springs soaks, home furniture, restaurant gift cards and more. Local musicians will perform on the main stage and in the foyer.

BeaconFest is also the best opportunity to visit directly with more than 100 local businesses and national agencies devoted to helping older adults age well in Western Colorado. Learn from local experts in free seminars about Medicare, retirement options, breakthrough medical treatments, tips for identifying scams and more.

At 1 p.m., BeaconFest honors some of our community’s most giving and passionate senior volunteers during the Volunteer of the Year ceremony. Starting in March, BEACON readers can learn about this year’s honorees and vote for their favorites at BeaconSeniorNews.com.
