Music in the Wild

BEATS ON THE CREEK

Live music, outdoor cocktails, and downtown views come together on the Wewatta bridge to raise money for First Descents, which provides life-changing outdoor adventures for young adults impacted by cancer and other serious health conditions. Bridge entry for the concert is just $10 with food and drinks available for purchase.

PRO TIP: This is the perfect summer evening with friends and requires minimal planning. Come early and grab dinner at Coohills and then relax and enjoy the full experience.

CITY PARK JAZZ

Celebrating 40 years this summer, Denverites come together for free live jazz in City Park on Sunday evenings. Grab a friend, or your dog, pack a picnic, bring a blanket, and come see what all the fuss is about.

PRO TIP: Take a stroll through the nearby Betty Ford Alpine Gardens before the show. It's one of the most beautiful concert settings in Colorado, and the mountain views are worth savoring.

PLANET BLUEGRASS

Set along the St. Vrain River in Lyons, Planet Bluegrass is home to beloved festivals like RockyGrass and the Folks Festival. Think riverside concerts, mountain views, and classic Colorado vibes.

PRO TIP: Don't rush in right before the music starts. Arrive early, wander the grounds, dip your toes in the river, and soak in the scenery. Planet Bluegrass feels more like a Colorado experience than just a concert.

Ashley’s Park Concert Rules

👯 It’s all about the company. The beauty of these music experiences is the LACK of advance planning they require.

👯 Pack the picnic (except for Beats on the Creek). Now, your picnic skills DO matter. Bring your A game.

👯 Bring a layer. Because Colorado. If you have it, you won’t need it. If you don’t, you’ll wish you did.

👯 Arrive early enough to enjoy golden hour. Because summer.

👯 The vibe is more important than the lineup. Choose your company wisely.
