We’ve hit the halfway point of July 2018. Summer doesn’t last forever, which is why we’ve compiled all of the concerts going on within the Mile High City this week and placed them below for your listening and viewing convenience. The Denver weather couldn’t get much better, so take advantage of any one of the many outdoor concerts going on at Fiddler’s Green, Levitt Pavilion or Red Rocks. Whatever you decide to do, have fun and go explore the Denver music scene.
