Arts & Entertainment

Between CSU’s world-class performing arts center, local community and professional acting troupes, traveling Broadway shows, venues devoted entirely to musical theatre (with and without dinner), long-standing children’s theatre companies and summer performances under the stars, the Downtown Creative District, and the Fort Collins Mural Project, it’s no wonder Fort Collins boasts more opportunities to see live theatre, music and art than any other place in Northern Colorado!

Fort Collins richly deserves its reputation as the cultural capital of Northern Colorado. With a half-dozen live theatre stages in production throughout the year; a symphony orchestra, ballet troupe and opera company as well as several choral ensembles; facilities that accommodate a wide range of national touring shows and concerts, and galleries and museums mounting exhibits of everything from animation art to historical kimonos, there’s always something interesting going on.
