Located in Ruby Hill Park, the outdoor Levitt Pavilion features free and not-so-free shows throughout the summer. Last year — Denver Levitt’s first year in operation — the venue hosted 30 free shows and now they’re back with their 50 more for 2018. Check out the first wave of free concerts below.
In addition to their 2018 concert lineup, Levitt Pavilion has a multitude of other features that make it special. The venue is bigger than Red Rocks, focuses on emerging Colorado artists, offers paid internship programs to at-risk youth and when Levitt Pavilion is not being utilized as a concert venue it is available to schools, art organizations and local nonprofits. By partnering with Illegal Pete’s they’ve also been able to run contests that allow the public to nominate local artists that they would like to see perform. From Band of Heathens to Katastro and SHEL, the pavilion has featured community requested artists from across the state.
