Chautauqua Auditorium – Boulder, CO Tickets

Discover the Iconic Chautauqua Auditorium 

Located at the base of the majestic Flatirons in Boulder, Colorado, the Chautauqua Auditorium is one of the most unique and historic concert venues in the United States. Part of the Colorado Chautauqua National Historic Landmark, this open-air wooden auditorium has been welcoming guests since its construction in 1898. Built entirely without nails using traditional pegged construction, the auditorium offers exceptional acoustics and a rustic charm that transports you to another era. 

Each summer, Chautauqua Auditorium comes alive with the sounds of renowned artists, symphonies, indie bands, comedians, authors, and thought leaders. It's a seasonal venue that hosts events from May through September, blending culture, history, and natural beauty into one unforgettable experience. Whether you’re there for a folk concert under the stars or a lecture on innovation, the setting is as memorable as the performance itself.
