What to Expect
Boulder’s Glen Huntington Bandshell has been a fixture in Central Park for 78 years. It is named after the man who designed it and nearby Boulder High School. The art deco aesthetic is a pefect fit for this concert.
Parking is available throughout downtown on surface street and in garages. Please pay attention to the signs as in some cases you need to pay at a kiosk and some are free in the evening. The Bandshell is visibile from Broadway, Canyon, and 13th Street so it should be easy to find. Since this is a free event, walk on up and find a seat. There are benches and some areas to sit on the ground or bring a chair. This concert will be amplified but we’ll try to do so tastefully.
This concert sponsored in part by the City of Boulder’s Arts in the Park program and the Boulder Library Foundation.
