Summer is great for so many reasons: wearing shorts and flip-flops every day, going to the mountains, shopping farmers’ markets, free outdoor movies and lots of live music. Luckily, the Front Range is jam-packed with summer concerts — many of them FREE… our favorite kind!
To ensure you don’t miss out on any live music, we’ve created this Mile High Summer Concerts Guide. Concerts are sorted by day of the week and then by start date. All are FREE unless noted with a $.
Note: Concert links below will NOT be live on MHOTC until a few days before each specific concert series begins. Clicking on a link will take you to our event listing for details, including who’s performing, times, location, any restrictions (what you can and can’t bring) and other information.
As concert series start, we’ll add them to the list, so check back often. Let the music play!

I found 3 concerts at Evergreen Lake, 7/14, 7/28 and 8/11. I also found concerts at Broomfield Amphitheatre, but not actually in the amphitheater. These are 6/9, 6/23, 7/7, 7/21, 8/4 and 8/18. Thank you for your work on this, it helps me.

Hello,
I believe the Lakewood “Sounds Exciting” Concerts are on Thursday, not Wednesday. The date, June 17, is correct, but the day of the week is not.
Laura says
Pay — Thanks for the catch. There are so many moving parts this summer and sometimes we confuse our days. — Laura
