Celebrate Local. Support Local.

The Small Business Holiday Expo is becoming one of Grand Junction’s favorite holiday traditions. Join us for a festive evening that celebrates local entrepreneurs while raising funds to support small business growth across the Western Slope.

Hosted by the Business Incubator Center, this one-night community event transforms our campus into a sparkling winter marketplace filled with local vendors, food, music, and holiday cheer. All proceeds help fund the mentorship, resources, and financing programs that keep our local economy strong — and evergreen — all year long.

Event Highlights

  • Shop Local Gifts & Holiday Treasures
  • Explore a variety of vendor booths featuring handcrafted, locally made gifts from artisans, makers, and small business owners. It’s the perfect place to find something unique for everyone on your list.
  • Festive Food & Drinks including holiday cocktails.
  • Warm up with delicious bites from local food trucks.
  • Meet Santa and take photos
  • Say hello to Max the Bull — a 2000 lb. Charolais bull owned by Pitchfork Charolais Co of VanWinkle Ranch
  • Take a cozy carriage ride around the campus from award winning JR’s Carriage Rides.
  • Online Silent Auction — Opens November 14
