Colorado Springs events this week

Last updated 10m ago · 30 upcoming

Wednesday kicks things off with a Summer Concert at Hillside Gardens & Event Center and Samantha Fish landing at Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers, so pick your patio or your bourbon. Thursday gets crowded fast: Sweeney Todd opens at Ent Center for the Arts (yes, it's listed twice, so double-check which showing you're grabbing tickets for), Mariachi Herencia De Mexico plays Bourbon Brothers, and if you'd rather sit under the sky than a roof, there's a headphone concert out at Criterium Cricket Ground. Painting with a Twist is doing double duty this week too, with a drink-included Ghost Buddies session Thursday and a free finish-your-art night Friday for anyone with an unfinished canvas guilting them from the closet. Friday wraps with a Led Zeppelin tribute at Sunshine Studios Live for the classic-rock crowd. That's ten of thirty events happening this week, so there's plenty more if none of this hits. Grab a jacket for the evening shows — September nights here can turn on you fast.
