Your Weekend Guide to Morrison

This weekend in Morrison, Colorado brings 4 live events across the city — from music to theater. Here's what's on.

Morrison is home to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, widely regarded as the greatest outdoor concert venue on Earth. Carved into 300-million-year-old red sandstone formations at 6,450 feet, Red Rocks has hosted everyone from The Beatles to U2, and its combination of natural acoustics, dramatic scenery, and 9,525-seat capacity creates an experience that's genuinely transcendent. The venue runs a packed summer concert schedule from April through October, plus Film on the Rocks movie nights and the famous Easter sunrise service. Even on off-nights, the amphitheater is open for visitors to walk the rows and take in the views. Beyond Red Rocks, tiny Morrison (population 428) offers a handful of restaurants and shops along Bear Creek, making it a charming pre-show stop.
