Outdoor events in Colorado Springs

Last updated 13d ago · 30 upcoming

July's looking packed for outdoor events, and honestly, the timing couldn't be better — we're past peak heat and the monsoons haven't totally ruined everything yet. This Sunday alone has enough live music happening at breweries and parks to keep you moving all day. Whats Left Fest at Goat Patch, Free Bird Fest over at Bancroft Park, the OCC Summer Concert Series at Vultures, Mountain West Country Fest at The Black Sheep — pick your genre and your alcohol-to-fresh-air ratio. If you're not a music person, Outdoor Art Month kicks off Tuesday at Goat Patch, and there's a Colorado Springs Ski & Outdoor Expo coming in September if you're already thinking about winter (fair, honestly). Bottom line: get outside, bring a light jacket for the evening, and check the forecast because this is Colorado and weather changes like a toddler's mood.
