Denver’s Hudson Gardens Summer Concert Series Won’t Happen in 2023

Mar 22, 2023, 5:03 PM

A favorite summer activity of many around Denver, the Hudson Gardens Summer Concert Series, hasn’t happened since before the pandemic. However, many, including myself, hoped this would be the year it came back… Not so fast!

According to 9News, the Hudson Gardens & Event Center has announced that its summer concert series will be canceled for another year.

The summer concert series had been presented annually at Hudson Gardens‘ community amphitheater since 1999, until being canceled in 2020, 2021 and 2022.

“Currently, South Suburban is analyzing all business operations at Hudson Gardens with the focus of bringing back community favorites,” South Suburban Parks and Recreation said in a statement. “A strategic plan for the organization will be created to identify priorities for the venue and patrons.”

Hudson Gardens said it encourages guests to visit the gardens for free this spring and summer.

“Beautiful blooms, unique plant species and a self-guided art walk are highlights of this botanical garden set along the scenic South Platte River,” said South Suburban Parks and Recreation.
