Summer concerts are scheduled to pop up throughout Longmont this summer.
Free live outdoor music begins on June 1 with a Downtown Longmont concert. The event will feature Drunken Hearts, Antonio Lopez Band and Jeff & Paige. The event is expected to last longer and include more music than previous Downtown summer concerts. It will begin at 4:30 p.m. with Jeff & Paige who will provide kid-centric music.
Longmont Downtown Development Authority hosted a series of concerts downtown in previous years. This year the organization will host only one concert. It will also serve as the SVVSD All High Schools reunion.
While planning its summer entertainment, LDDA realized there were many shows happening throughout the summer, whether sponsored by the city or local businesses. Instead of utilizing its limited resources on a concert series, the organization decided to host a larger event and reallocate the remainder of its funds to market and show support for other downtown events, said Colin Argys, marketing and event specialist for LDDA.
Although the LDDA series has been reduced, there are still plenty of outdoor concerts happening throughout Longmont.
Longmont Recreation will host its annual Par Tee golf course concert at Sandstone Ranch on June 13 from 5-8:30 p.m.
As the Longmont Museum puts the finishing touches on the Stewart Family Courtyard and stage, it will host its outdoor concerts in parks throughout the city.
