Mishawaka Amphitheatre

The Mishawaka is a century-old music destination on the banks of the Cache la Poudre River, where the narrow canyon and remote mountain setting are inseparable from the show.

The Mishawaka is deep in Poudre Canyon. On-site parking is extremely limited, so use the venue's shuttle/transportation system or reserve parking well ahead.

Backpacks are allowed at Mishawaka: Standard backpacks, totes, and purses are generally accepted provided they are not excessively large or packed with prohibited contents.

Prohibited Bags: Oversized gear like large multi-day backpacking packs, duffel bags, or suitcases are not allowed.

This is a destination concert, not a city club. Plan the canyon trip, weather and ride home before you leave Fort Collins; cell service and late-night improvisation are not things to count on.

Multiple commenters described the trip itself as part of the reward. Build in extra time for the canyon drive, avoid cutting arrival close, and treat the remote setting as a destination rather than a normal Fort Collins club night.
