Plan Ahead for the Closest Parking at the Amp

TSM GJ WA

The Amp at Las Colonias is located at 925 Struthers Avenue in Grand Junction. Several factors can influence the crowd at the Amp on any given night. Parking demands vary greatly depending on the artist and the event size. The closest parking option is the official east parking lot adjacent to the amphitheater. There is usually a fee to park here. This is the shortest walk to the entrance. I’ve seen people arrive hours ahead of time to park in the main lot. If there is less than an hour till show time, the east lot is likely full.

One of the Smartest Ways to Reach Las Colonias

Pro Tip: If you can walk or bike to the Amp at Las Colonias, life is just simpler. If you did not know, the venue offers a direct connection to the Riverfront Trail. No more worrying about parking. If you live near the venue, riding your bike is the fastest way home when a sold-out concert lets out.

The Amp at Las Colonias has accessible parking spaces clearly marked near the main entrance. Guests who need additional assistance can also use the designated drop-off areas near the entrance, which trim the distance to reach the venue gates. If you have a valid disability placard or Colorado license plate, try the Amp main parking lot first.
