Ballet Dancers on the Bandshell

The City of Boulder presents Arts in the Park, a program showcasing a vibrant blend of arts and cultural performances. Arts in the Park performances will take place at the Glen Huntington Bandshell in the city’s Civic Area. We'll showcase local talent as well as performances from the Boulder Ballet, Boulder Symphony, and the Arts Hub.

Signature Performances 

Signature Performances are produced in partnership with Boulder Arts Organizations and Bands and Boulder Parks and recreation to provide arts access while activating our park resources. Ticket proceeds from the signature events will support each local performing arts group.

  • Arts Hub: August 23

Community Performances and Events

Join us various dates throughout the summer for Spotlight Artist Performances and Sponsored Community Events. Both programs are a way for the city to provide a viable outdoor venue for local artists and arts professionals, provide art performances and experiences to the community, and create a welcoming and safe park space for all.
