Things to Do

Film on the Rocks: outdoor cinema nights summer 2026

Film on the Rocks 2026 brings five outdoor cinema nights to Red Rocks between June 8 and August 10, including 'Sinners' on June 22 and 'Little Miss Sunshine' on July 13. Tickets are online-only with no door sales, and the screenings double as the most affordable way to experience the amphitheatre on a non-concert night.

Things to Do

Hike the 1.4-mile Trading Post Trail before doors

The Trading Post Trail is a 1.4-mile loop that takes 40-60 minutes and winds past 10 of the park's giant rock formations directly south of the amphitheatre. Trailhead is at the Trading Post, which doubles as the Colorado Music Hall of Fame; trails open one hour before sunrise and close one hour after sunset, free.

Things to Do

Lower South Lot 1 is 'Shakedown Street' for tailgaters

Lots open two hours before doors and parking is free for most shows. Tailgaters congregate in Lower South Lot 1, which jam-band locals call Shakedown Street; tailgating must stay at the back of vehicles, full-strength beer and wine are allowed (no hard liquor), and canopies, generators, open flames, glass and charcoal grills are banned.

Red Rocks bans multi-pocket bags entirely. Allowed bags are single-pocket and no larger than 13 inches wide by 15 inches tall by 8 inches deep; purses and fanny packs cap at 6 by 9.
