Mishawaka
If you are going to be living around the Fort Collins
area this summer and looking for some outdoor
concerts, then head up the Poudre Canyon to Mishawaka.
Mishawaka offers an intimate outdoor setting were
several major regional and national musical acts
perform every summer. The stage is placed perfectly in
front of the river and tucked away inside of the
Poudre Canyon, just off of the road. The venue is very
personal. You can see everything that is going on
onstage and you never get far enough away to need
binoculars like almost all the other outdoor
concerts.
The concerts will start on May 9 this year, with K9
Unit kicking off the summer concerts. Yonder Mountain
String band will be performing two nights up there on
une 7 and 8. Blues Virtuoso, John Hiatt will be
playing on June 27. The two-day Poudre Blue Grass
Festival will be Aug. 2 and 3. The Dirty Dozen Brass
Band will be on Aug. 15. There are several other
acts scheduled and to see for yourself go to
www.mishawakaconcerts.com .
To get there head North on U.S. 287 for about eight miles
outside of Fort Collins then take Colorado 14 up the
Poudre Canyon for 13 miles and it’s on the right.
It’s great to get out of the concrete jungle and up
to the mountains in the summer. Go up there and enjoy
>the fresh air with some live music.
