Music In The Junction

Cinco de Mayo is happening this Thursday as we kick off the concert series with Guitarras ATM! Hailing from West Des Moines, Guitarras ATM blends rhythmic acoustic guitar with Latin-inspired grooves and crowd-friendly energy that feels right at home in Valley Junction. Known for their dynamic instrumentals and laid-back stage presence, this trio brings a mix of original pieces and fresh takes on familiar favorites.

The beverage garden and King & Queen ceremony open at 5:00, with live music at 6:00.
