Outdoor events in Colorado Springs

Last updated 4d ago · 30 upcoming

Sunday, August 2 is stacking up to be a genuinely packed day for anyone who'd rather be outside than not. Bancroft Park alone has three separate music happenings on the books, including the Country Rising Festival and a Concerts in the Park set, plus a UVC Free Summer Concert Series show. Meanwhile Peterson SFB Outdoor Recreation is doing its own thing with a birding workshop, an outdoor movie night, a farmers market, and something called the Pikes Peak Outdoors Hoedown, which sounds like it requires boots either way. Red Leg Brewing Company rounds things out with a pasta-making class and a couple of markets-tagged events that feel like they'll pair well with a beer in hand. Thirty outdoor events are on the calendar total, spanning food and drink, music, sports, education, and markets, so this Sunday isn't a one-note kind of day. Check the sky before you commit to anything without a roof, obviously, but the lineup gives you plenty of reasons to leave the house. Scroll down for the full list.
