Designed to make live music more accessible to a broader community audience, the “Concerts @ the Park” shows require no tickets and offer a family-friendly environment for enjoying a diverse music line-up. Concertgoers are asked to bring their own chairs or blankets, as seating is not provided at Buckley Park. Fired Up Pizzeria and Schlotzsky’s will offer food for sale at the park, but picnics are invited.
Buckley Park is located in the 1200 block of Main Ave. (between 12th and 13th streets) on the north end of Durango’s historic downtown.

- July 21 – Paa Kow – “The Groove Master” fuses rhythm and artistry from his home in Ghana with jazz and African pop.
- July 28 – Sneaky Pete and the Secret Weapons – Jackson, Wyo. band with original and popular dance tunes inspired by the “funkiness of life in the mountains.” Back by popular demand!
