Summers have become synonymous with outdoor festivals in Colorado over the years. In years past, we have been spoiled with the happenings at Red Rocks Amphitheater and Mishawaka Amphitheater, but within the last 5 years or so, it seems like many of the acts that may sell out these venues can be seen at some of the most fan friendly festivals in the world. Colorado knows how to take care of our guests. When musicians or travellers come to our state, they seem to never be disappointed and always come back for more.
