This list of summer concerts in Colorado each year is always amazing, including when the concerts happen in a  beautiful 12-acrel garden in the middle of Fort Collins.

How Long Have the Concerts Been Happening at The Gardens on Spring Creek?

The idea of having a concert venue at The Gardens on Spring Creek started to come together in 2015-2016, with the first Live at the Gardens shows happening in the summer of 2022. Three Dog Night, Stewart Copeland and The Wood Brothers were among the acts that summer.

The capacity for the "amphitheater" at The Gardens on Spring Creek is 1,500. It's not huge, but it's not terribly small, either. It's a great way to enjoy a beautiful summer day in the heart of The Choice City.  You could grab a bite at Simmer off of Shields and Drake, then hop onto Centre to go see a great show.

Check Out a Great Concert As Well as the Great Gardens

Of course, your concert ticket grants you access to the Gardens and the Butterfly House as well; tickets for adults are usually about $12.50. You can make a very big day out of it; a "two birds with one stone" kind of day. I've always wanted to check out the gardens, but still have yet to.

With each season, the bands come mostly from the folk and Americana genres, but that doesn't mean that you won't see a slightly edgy band or a Celtic band on one of the Tuesdays.
