2026 CO Free Concert Series: Tunes For Trails (Castle Rock) | Full Lineup & Guide

Castle Rock stages a series of monthly concerts called Tunes For Trails this summer. Concerts take place on the third Thursday of the month at the outdoor amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park. While the concerts are free, the hope is that donations from music lovers will help support the city’s Parks and Trails Foundation.
