Music167Most weeks there's live music somewhere in the twin towns five or six nights out of seven. The Miners Foundry and the Nevada Theatre carry the touring acts, the Center for the Arts in Grass Valley books the bigger names, and a rotating cast of bars, breweries, and back patios covers everything else. Summer adds outdoor shows at Pioneer Park and the fairgrounds.Food & drink23Wine walks down Broad Street, harvest dinners at the breweries, and a tasting room calendar that fills up from May through October. Most seatings are small and most of them sell out, so the dinners here list a week or two ahead.Arts + theater35The Nevada Theatre is the oldest theater building in California still in use, and it runs film series, readings, and touring stage work through the year. Add the gallery openings on the first Friday of every month and the comedy nights at the lounges.Movies26The Onyx runs independent, documentary and repertory film on two screens.
