Editor’s Note: Levitt Pavilion has added more shows to its 2024 concert series, bringing the total number of free, all-ages concerts coming to Levitt this summer to 42. And there are more to come.
The latest update follows below.
Levitt Pavilion Denver is excited to announce the first wave of free concerts for the 2024 concert season. Levitt has been providing no-cost, all-ages concerts since launching in 2017, continuing their work of building community through music with bands like Sunny War, Buffalo Nichols, and Chali 2na & Cut Chemist. Featuring a line-up celebrating discovery and diversity, Levitt will also continue to use the Meyer Panther sound system and a world-class lighting system that makes free concerts on the lawn full-scale spectacles.
Along with these announced shows, Levitt’s 2024 concert season will feature the return of community partner events such as Japan Fest in collaboration with Japanese Arts Network, All My Relations Celebration with support from Denver Indian Center, Viva Southwest Mariachi Fest in partnership with Latino Cultural Arts Center and more, with headliner announcements and further details still to come.
