November may be the “shoulder season” for some in Chaffee County, but not so in the arts and culture scene at the Salida SteamPlant.
The Salida SteamPlant Events Center and the Salida Council for the Arts invite everyone to come inside, warm your hands and enjoy fine arts and live performances this November.
The Salida SteamPlant Event Center is at 220 West Sackett Avenue on the Riverwalk with free on-street parking and a large, new lot a few paces away on West First at the Monarch Spur Trail and more parking just across the F Street bridge.
