Palisade Park Broomfield’s New Summer Hotspot: Amphitheater Brings Music, Markets, and Community Together
By Melissa Ruzicka
After 14 incredible years at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, the beloved Broomfield Farmers’ Market is entering an exciting new chapter. What began in 2011 as an all-volunteer mission has grown into a community staple—but the time has come for a fresh start. With scorching summer heat and the physical demands of running a bustling market taking their toll, organizers knew a change was needed to keep the momentum alive.
Fortunately, the market found the perfect new home and partner with the new Palisade Park Amphitheater, a stunning outdoor venue in North Broomfield. Starting June 5, this vibrant space at the corner of Baseline Road and Palisade Parkway will host the market every Thursday, offering shaded greenspace, room to grow, and new opportunities to bring the community together.
Looking for Broomfield’s go-to spot for live entertainment, fresh flavors, and community connection? Every Thursday, the Palisade Park Amphitheater transforms into an eco-friendly, open-air farmers market and creative forum, inviting farmers, ranchers, artists, crafters, small businesses, and nonprofits to share their best with our distinctive and diverse community. In partnership with Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, the mission is simple: support local enterprise, celebrate art and music, and give neighbors a welcoming place to gather in the spirit of celebration. Ready to join the lineup? Email info@palisadeparkamphitheater to become a vendor and help make Thursday nights the heartbeat of Broomfield.
And this isn’t just a market—it’s a full-blown summer celebration. From 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., stroll the farmers market and enjoy live music from an opening band set up by the Palisade Park soccer fields. Then from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., the energy cranks up a notch with headlining concerts on the main stage, a lively beer garden, and food trucks galore. It’s the perfect way to kick back, connect, and celebrate all that makes Broomfield special.
This summer’s lineup kicks off on June 5, with the Patrick Storen Duo performing as visitors shop the market and catch up with neighbors. As the sun sets, families can grab dinner from one of eight food trucks and settle in on the lawn as the Low Down Brass Band brings the house down on the amphitheater stage. The excitement continues all month long with The Fuzzheads headlining with Roma Ransom on June 12, followed by Candi Jenkins and Derek Dames Ohl lighting up the third Thursday. June wraps up with Wylie Jones and Mark Morris, capping off four weeks of unforgettable summer nights.
Night Concerts
The fun doesn’t stop there—July and August bring even more action with the launch of ticketed Friday and Saturday night concerts. Aaron Golay + The Original Sin will rock the stage on Saturday, July 12, followed by Nashville’s own Six One Five the next weekend. Meanwhile, the free Thursday concert series continues strong with acts like Bradman and Friends, Spinphony, The Runaway Grooms, and Wirewood Station taking the stage alongside the weekly market. Be sure to check Palisade Park Amphitheater’s website for the latest updates, schedules, and ticket information. With so much goodness happening at the amphitheater, it’s important to remember the inspiring neighbors just to the east—Children’s Hospital Colorado. At every event, the amphitheater will give a heartfelt shout-out to the hospital’s hardworking staff, brave kids, and their families. In addition, weekly donations will be collected to support Children’s, reinforcing the amphitheater’s commitment to lifting up the entire community.
For Garrett Baum of Urban Frontier and Palisade Park Metro District #2 bringing the Palisade Park Amphitheater to life has been “a labor of love.” As a key developer behind the project, Baum has a bold vision for North Broomfield—one that embraces the city’s authentic cultural roots while creating new spaces where traditions can grow. He knows this ever-expanding part of town is hungry for meaningful community experiences, and the amphitheater is here to deliver.
The summer of 2025 is just the beginning. Plans are already in motion for even more diverse programming, from children’s theater performances and family movie nights to film festivals featuring guest speakers and directors. With its expansive, welcoming space, the amphitheater is poised to host everything from Italian festivals and cultural celebrations to car shows and community forums.
In short, Palisade Park Amphitheater is Broomfield’s newest hub for connection, culture, and celebration—and it’s only just getting started.
