2026 Colorado Summer Free Concert Series Guide

One of my favorite things about living in Colorado (along with the sunny weather and the mountains) is the incredible live music scene. While shows at Red Rocks, Fiddlers, Mission Ballroom, Denver Botanic Gardens and all the other venues around the state are incredible to experience, even attending one show can be very pricey.

But here’s why living in the Centennial state is so great! There are so many summer concerts that are FREE! I hadn’t realized how many there were before compiling this list and I am honestly really impressed and grateful that it’s so extensive and that these can be found throughout the state!

So here’s the Colorado Summer Free Concert Series Guide to make sure you don’t miss out on all of this live music. From bluegrass to blues, jazz to folk, classical to pop, classic rock to opera, you can find music you love or perhaps branch out to discover something new and again it’s all free!

The guide is organized by day of week and locations to help you search. Clicking on a link will bring you to my concert series post for details, including lineup. times, location, what you can and can’t bring, parking/transportation options, accessibility and other useful information (or the official website as I am franct

As summer concert season starts, I’ll add any new series I hear about to the list, so check back often and please reach out to let me know about any I don’t have listed – drop a comment or send me an email!
