Summer in Denver means long afternoons on patios, concerts under the stars, and weekends filled with outdoor festivals. Whether you’re headed to Red Rocks for a legendary show or meeting friends at a local beer garden, getting around Denver is easier when you leave the driving to a professional. Crown Limousine offers private transportation services throughout Denver and the surrounding areas, with a fleet that includes luxury sedans, SUVs, Sprinter vans, and minibuses—ideal for any and all summer outings.
Skyline Beer Garden is one of downtown Denver’s most popular warm-weather hangouts. Open through early fall, this seasonal outdoor space features local craft beers, live music, and casual pub fare. Located at Skyline Park along the 16th Street Mall, it’s a laid-back spot to meet up before a show or spend a weekend afternoon. With limited parking nearby, it’s smart to schedule a private SUV or Sprinter van for your group so you can focus on the drinks and conversation, not the traffic.
One of the highlights of the city’s summer music scene is the Denver Botanic Gardens Summer Concert Series. Set against the backdrop of the lush York Street gardens, these intimate shows offer a unique outdoor experience for music lovers. As these events often sell out, reserving your transportation in advance with Crown ensures you’ll arrive on time, and avoid the headache of searching for parking in a crowded residential neighborhood.
Of course, no Denver summer is complete without a few nights at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre. This iconic venue has a packed 2025 schedule, with highlights like The String Cheese Incident (July 18–19), Alabama Shakes (July 20), Mumford & Sons (July 21–22), Indigo Girls & Melissa Etheridge (July 25), and Beck with The Colorado Symphony (July 27). August brings Tedeschi Trucks Band (August 1–2), The Beach Boys with The Colorado Symphony (August 3), ZZ Top (August 4), Zach Bryan (August 10), Gracie Abrams (August 11–12), LCD Soundsystem (August 13), My Morning Jacket (August 15–16), and Goo Goo Dolls with Dashboard Confessional (August 24). With Red Rocks’ steep parking lots and post-show traffic, booking a private car or minibus with Crown Limousine is one of the easiest ways to enjoy a concert from start to finish.
On July 23, Bright Nights at Four Mile takes over Four Mile Historic Park, blending immersive art installations, live music, food trucks, and family-friendly activities. It’s a great local event that’s often overlooked by visitors, and a perfect way to spend a summer evening in the city.
The last weekend of July brings the Underground Music Showcase to Denver’s South Broadway neighborhood. Running July 25–27, this indie music festival transforms the area’s bars, clubs, and venues into one continuous live music crawl. With limited parking and heavy pedestrian traffic, using a Sprinter van or luxury sedan makes bouncing between venues far simpler.
The 28th Annual Chicano Music Festival & Auction runs July 24–28 at Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center, celebrating Latin music, culture, and community art. From mariachi and conjunto to contemporary Latin bands, it’s one of Denver’s most distinctive summer events.
Looking ahead to August, the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (August 8–10) in Lyons, CO, offers a weekend of folk, Americana, and acoustic sets in a relaxed riverside setting. And if you’re in town later in the month, Ghost Canyon Fest (August 21–24) at Skylark Lounge delivers a packed lineup of indie rock, punk, and alternative acts in one of the city’s most authentic live music spots.
This summer, skip the parking lots and long walks by booking your Denver car service with Crown Limousine. Whether it’s a concert, a festival, or a night on the town, our fleet of luxury sedans, SUVs, Sprinter vans, and minibuses is ready to get you there.
