Outdoor Concerts in Castle Rock Summer 2018 TBA

Great music, perfect temperatures and spending time under the stars is the recipe for a beautiful summer night in Castle Rock. Make that dream a reality by joining the Town for the Summer Concert Series at the Amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park.

Back for the second year, the concert series brings amazing events to the Amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park on select weekends May through September. Enjoy live music from nationally known bands, along with craft beer and cocktails under the stars. Think a more intimate version of Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Upcoming educational program teaches about animals around the Rock

Whether it’s raptors, reptiles or other creepy crawlies, Castle Rock has a whole host of residents some may not know about.

Meet these animal ambassadors and hear a presentation about their personal stories. Plus, stay after to get an up-close and personal experience with the animals.
