A diverse lineup of regional and national bands perform in the Park Bandstand funded and built in partnership between CREA, Cortez Electric and the City of Cortez. Bring the family, bring a friend, bring a blanket or chairs, and enjoy the music. Explore a variety of vendor booths and sample delicious bites, brews and beverages from local eateries throughout the evening.

In support of LISTEN CORTEZ, we’re excited to have KRTZ with us again this year for Live Remote Broadcasts from the Park. Partner KSJD joins us to welcome you at the event entrance.

Make a day of it! Help support local businesses by visiting our many retail shops and restaurants while in Cortez.
