2 Best Performing Arts in Denver, Colorado

Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre

This Greenwood Village–based venue has changed names over the years. Most recently it was Comfort Dental Amphitheatre, but now has reverted back to its original Fiddler's Green. While the name keeps changing, the platform remains the same—large outdoor summer concerts. Although many compare this nondescript amphitheater unfavorably to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre near Morrison, Colorado, regular concertgoers may find Fiddler, with its small details, such as ample parking and individual seating, more comfortable than Red Rocks.

Paramount Theatre

Downtown

Designed by renowned local architect Temple H. Buell in the art deco style in 1930, the lovingly maintained Paramount in downtown Denver is both an elegant place to see shows and a rowdy, beer-serving party location for rock fans to enjoy large-scale concerts.
