Maybe one of Denver's best kept secrets is that it's a music city — which tends to get lost in the fact that it's nestled in the Rockies, it's a major tourist destination for all seasons with 300 days of sunlight and that whole weed legalization thing. Denver isn't just snow and dispensaries, though; we not only have top notch bands and artists in our fair city, but some world class venues. Here are a few:

Levitt Pavilion

Levitt Pavilion is one of a family of non-profit venues across the country, founded with the goal of bringing music to the people. Levitt is the largest in the country and it stays firm in its goal, offering 50 free concerts a year in the grassy hills of Ruby Park in addition to multiple other concerts from May through November.

Favorite Show: Flor de Toloache, 2018
