Summer 2026 is shaping up to be a good one downtown.
We’ve been planning, booking, and getting things lined up — and now we’re ready to share what’s coming to Old Town Square over the next few months. Live music, movies under the stars, and yes, line dancing. Here’s the full rundown.
Music Night kicks off May 29
First up: Tyler T. and the Common Clay are bringing their six-piece funk-folk sound to Old Town Square on Friday, May 29 from 7–10 PM.
If you haven’t caught Tyler T. before, he’s a Northern Colorado multi-instrumentalist who pulls from just about every genre — rock, folk, bluegrass, a little psychedelia thrown in. It’s the kind of music that sounds even better outside with a drink in your hand.
This one’s free and open to everyone. Show up, grab a spot, and kick off your weekend the right way.
Movie Nights are back every Monday
Starting June 1, we’re partnering with Ben & Jerry’s Fort Collins to bring back Movie Nights in the Square — every single Monday through the summer.
Here’s the deal: show up at sunset, bring your favorite camp chair or blanket, and settle in for a movie under the stars right in the middle of Old Town. The movie starts when the sun goes down (around 8 PM in June), and Ben & Jerry’s will be scooping nearby if you need something sweet.
We’ll be announcing the movie lineup on our social channels each week, so give us a follow if you haven’t already.
When: Every Monday, June through August, starting at sunset
Where: Old Town Square
Cost: Free
What to bring: A chair, a blanket, and your people
Line Dancing in the Square — July 10 & 11
This one’s new, and we’re pretty excited about it.
On Friday, July 10 (5–7 PM) and Saturday, July 11 (4–7 PM), Old Town Square is turning into a dance floor. No experience needed. No cowboy boots required (but encouraged). We’ll have instruction on-site, so whether you’ve got two left feet or you’ve been line dancing since the ’90s, you’ll have a good time.
It’s one of those things that sounds a little out there until you’re actually doing it — and then you don’t want to stop.
