Live Events in Durango, CO

Durango's live music scene has the energy of a college town crossed with the character of the Old West. The Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College hosts major touring acts and the Durango Bluegrass Meltdown, one of Colorado's best winter music festivals. The Animas City Theatre is the beloved local club — an intimate, occasionally rowdy room where the audience and the stage feel like they're sharing the same space. Downtown Durango's Main Avenue is lined with bars and restaurants featuring live music most nights, with a lean toward bluegrass, folk, and Americana that fits the town's mountain-and-river lifestyle. The Durango & Silverton Railroad brings thousands of visitors through town each summer, keeping the audience fresh and the venues full.
