Things to do around Colorado Springs

Pick a town. Each page is the dated events we have there, plus this weekend.

  • Manitou Springs

    Manitou Springs sits at the foot of Pikes Peak, a walkable little town of mineral springs, the penny arcade, and the Incline. This page lists what is actually on the calendar there: concerts, markets, street fairs, and the stuff happening up in the canyon.

    This weekend
  • Palmer Lake

    Palmer Lake is the small town at the north end of the Front Range, between Monument and the Palmer Divide. The calendar here is quieter than Colorado Springs, which is the point: star parties, the lake, small concerts, and holiday nights on the green.

    This weekend
  • Woodland Park

    Woodland Park is the town on the way to the mountains, twenty minutes up Highway 24 from Colorado Springs. People come for the cooler evenings, Ute Pass, and a main street that still does parades, markets, and high-school sports in the same week.

    This weekend
  • Monument

    Monument is the Tri-Lakes town north of Colorado Springs, between Palmer Lake and the Air Force Academy. The weekend question up here is usually a kids' event, a brewery night, or something at Limbach Park, not a downtown Springs concert.

    This weekend
  • Fountain

    Fountain is the town south of Colorado Springs, on the way to Fort Carson and Pueblo. The local calendar is community-first: markets, city festivals, sports, and family nights, with the bigger shows still up in the Springs.

    This weekend
  • Falcon

    Falcon and Peyton sit east of Colorado Springs, past Powers, where the weekends are youth sports, the county fairgrounds, and community events rather than downtown nightlife. This page covers both towns.

    This weekend
  • Colorado Springs

    Colorado Springs is the main calendar: downtown, Old Colorado City, the Powers corridor, the Broadmoor, and everything venues file under the city even when the pin is a neighborhood. This is the list of dated things to do, not a brochure of the mountains.
