Live Events in Estes Park, CO

Estes Park brings its gateway-to-Rocky-Mountain-National-Park tourism energy to a surprisingly robust live music scene. Stanley Live at the historic Stanley Hotel (yes, the one that inspired The Shining) hosts concerts in an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in Colorado — equal parts elegant and eerie. Performance Park hosts free summer concerts that pack the downtown area. The Rock Inn Mountain Tavern offers a more rowdy, roadhouse experience with live bands. Snowy Peaks Winery pairs wine tastings with acoustic sets. Summer is the peak season by far, when the town's population multiplies with park visitors and the live music calendar runs nearly every night.
