Fiddler's Green is one of Colorado's best outdoor amphitheaters, just about a half hour south of Denver. It's held thousands of concerts since opening in 1988, from brand new artists, to symphonies, to legendary rock bands. The 2026 season will see a wide variety of acts pleasing the crowds, once again.

It can be a trek from Northern Colorado down to Fiddler's Green, but once you see that exit (I normally exit onto Orchard,) you can feel the excitement build. After all, you've traveled quite a distance to have some fun.

Once you get inside the venue, you flash back to the very first time you were there, or to your favorite shows of the past. I remember seeing The Goo Goo Dolls open for Matchbox 20 one summer; me, my friend, about 18,000 others had a blast.
