Family-friendly concerts and cultural events offer fun, music, and more in neighborhood parks throughout the city
Fort Collins, CO – Fort Collins neighborhood parks will come alive this summer with music, laughter, and cultural vibrancy as the City of Fort Collins Cultural Services Department launches FoCo POP (Parks and Outdoor Performances). This free entertainment series is designed for audiences of all ages and will feature award-winning performances in various genres—from folk and classical to interactive kids’ shows.
Building on the success of The Lincoln Center’s popular Children’s Summer Series, FoCo POP aims to bring high-quality national and international acts directly into the community by rotating performances across local parks. With the Children’s Series on a brief hiatus until next year, FoCo POP is stepping in to ensure families and individuals can still enjoy top-tier performances close to home, all at no cost.
This summer’s highlights include:
