The Venue
The Monday Club, owned by the city of Fortuna, is one of the most unique venues in the area. This warm and inviting building was designed during a simpler time and unlike many converted lodges and churches, it was designed with the express purpose of providing entertainment in a comfortable, yet charming setting. The intimate stage, combined with the closeness of the audience, provides a unique atmosphere -- many have compared the Monday Club to the small European theatres of Shakespeare's day.

Built in the 1920s, the building provides a large open space with an arched ceiling that works with both spoken word and music. Its unique setting provides performers and listeners a comfortable and intimate environment to experience the joy of live music performances.

The Music
The Fortuna Concert Series is an eight-performance event that continues through the winter and spring. These professional musical programs feature talented local groups and individuals, as well as nationally and internationally known performers. The rich and diversified programming includes classical, jazz, folk, ethnic, vocal and instrumental music.
