Rock & Rails, 2nd Ave Concert Series & the Jazz Festival
For a town of a few thousand people, Niwot puts on a serious summer of music. Rock & Rails fills Whistle Stop Park on Thursday evenings, the 2nd Ave Concert Series takes over Old Town one Saturday a month, and the annual jazz festival draws players from across the Front Range.
Niwot's flagship concert series runs Thursday evenings from June through August at Whistle Stop Park. Music starts around 5:00 PM, admission is free, and the community beer garden's proceeds go back to local nonprofits. Bring a chair or blanket — the park fills early on good-weather nights. The 2026 dates we're tracking appear in the live schedule below.
One Saturday evening a month, Old Town Niwot's 2nd Avenue turns into an outdoor stage. Shows start around 6:00 PM in the heart of the historic district, steps from Niwot's restaurants and shops.
Niwot also hosts an annual jazz festival that brings an afternoon of live jazz to Old Town. Dates land in the schedule below as soon as they're announced.
Below is every Niwot event we track, updated daily. You can also filter by date and venue on the Niwot city page, or head 10 minutes down the Diagonal for Boulder's bar scene and Longmont's breweries.
