Question 2

How do I get there?

From Lincoln Avenue (US HWY 40) in downtown Steamboat Springs, turn toward the Yampa River on 5th street, cross the bridge about two blocks down, turn right, and you’re pointing towards the Howelsen Hill parking area.

Question 3

What can I bring into the venue?

Accepted Answer

You can bring a chair or blanket to sit on, and all ages are welcome.

Please leave your pets at home.

Question 4

Are the concerts kid-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! There's open space at the back of the venue for kids to run and play, and many of our vendors offer kid-friendly food and treats. The music can get loud, so earplugs or earmuffs are a great idea for little ears.

Question 5

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

Outside food and beverages are not permitted, but don't worry — we've got you covered! Food, drinks, beer, and bottled beverages are all available for purchase at the show. All beverage sales go directly toward supporting the concert series, and we accept credit cards at the venue.

Question 6

Is smoking allowed?

Accepted Answer

Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the concert site — it's a City of Steamboat Springs ordinance.

Question 7

What impact does my donation make?

Accepted Answer

Our concerts are completely free to attend, made possible largely by support from local sponsors and beverage sales during the events. However, each show can cost $20,000+ per act to produce. Donations help bridge that gap—ensuring we can continue bringing high-quality live music to the community year after year.

If you’d like to support the mission, you can donate or become a sponsor. Thank you!
