Come out one last time to America's Oldest All Ages Venue, 242 Main! After nearly a thousand shows and 32 years, the City of Burlington and Parks and Recreation have decided to close the physical space along with other programs in memorial auditorium, due to ongoing structural issues with the building.

Update 12/1/2016: Thank you WCAX-TV, Eliza Larson, and everyone who helped put 242 on the news. It's nice to see 242 being given respect like this; and nice to hear it's closing only "for now."
