Trade and Post

Trade and Post is a record shop, taproom, and live event space in downtown Del Norte, a combination that gives the room a genuinely music-first identity. Most shows take place Wednesday through Sunday, with the space usually closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The setting draws on the crossover between physical-media culture and live performance in a way that few small-town Colorado spots do. For guests, it is one of the more distinctive stops in the San Luis Valley for both browsing and catching a show; for artists, the room's audience already treats music as the reason to be there.
