It’s that time of year again — Concert Hall @ The Park is back, and we’re ready to light up your Thursday nights this summer! From June 26 to August 7, Buckley Park in downtown Durango becomes the place to be, with free concerts, great vibes, and music for everyone.
Presented by the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College and proudly sponsored by Alpine Bank, this popular summer series features seven Thursday evenings of live music—from Latin beats and Americana to swing, soul, and more.
“Every summer we try to top ourselves, and this year’s lineup is packed with talent,” said Charles Leslie, director of the Community Concert Hall. “Thanks to our longtime partner Alpine Bank, and a growing crew of awesome community sponsors, we’ve got an amazing mix of artists coming to Buckley—something for every musical taste.”
We’re also thrilled to welcome new sponsor Wanderful Wheels! Explore the world on your terms with Wanderful Wheels, where every journey is a testament to the artistry of adventure. This Durango-based company builds custom and spec camper vans tailored to your unique style of van life and is with you every mile of the journey — from the first consult to 10 years down the road.
KDUR Community Radio, Grassburger, and Four Corners Broadcasting also return as valued community partners, helping bring the summer series to life. Be sure to swing by on Thursday, June 26, beginning at 3:30pm, when Four Corners Broadcasting will be live onsite to help kick off the first show and officially launch the Community Concert Hall’s 2025–26 season!
Bring your picnic baskets, blankets, and lawn chairs—or just come ready to dance! Grassburger will be onsite with tasty eats and drinks to keep you fueled for the fun.

The Community Concert Hall is a not-for-profit, multi-use performance venue located on the campus of Fort Lewis College. Its ability to bring a diverse spectrum of shows to Southwest Colorado is made possible through a partnership with the college—a state-supported, independent institution of higher education—and financial and in-kind contributions from generous community members.
