Free things to do in Colorado Springs this weekend
Last updated 7d ago · 21 upcoming
Free weekend, finally. Friday, July 24 kicks things off at Red Leg Brewing Company, and then Saturday, July 25 basically turns into a live-music marathon over at Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort. Seriously, four separate music listings there in one day. Somebody's calendar is doing a lot of work. Meanwhile, World Golf & Sand Creek Golf Course has its own thing going with a pre-concert party and a summer concert, so that end of town isn't sitting quiet either. Nine free events total this weekend, spread across community, music, and sports categories, which means you've got options whether you want a beer-and-band night or something a little more low-key outdoors. Check what you're wearing before you head out, because this is Colorado and the sky does not care about your plans. Bring a layer, bring cash for a tip jar even if the show's free, and maybe pick one Buffalo Lodge show instead of trying to catch all four. Saturday's going to be busy enough without you sprinting between stages.

What's going on Friday, July 24?
Damned By The Night is happening at Red Leg Brewing Company, filed under the community category. It's the lone Friday listing in this batch of free events.
What free events are happening Saturday, July 25?

Are any of these events good for a low-key outdoor hang?
