Warm weather is here, and the Pueblo Riverwalk is the place to be with an exciting lineup of free summer activities, including live music, fitness classes, boat rides, and family fun. Whether you’re local or planning a weekend trip, there are plenty of reasons to explore the Riverwalk in downtown Pueblo in May and throughout the summer.
Free Summer Entertainment Every Weekend
The Riverwalk is thrilled to present another summer of entertainment and events. Every Friday and Saturday evening from May through September, join friends and family along the river for free live performances from amazing local and regional bands. With performances on the Pueblo Toyota Flood Wall Stage and the Pueblo Dodge Gateway Plaza Stage, offering a mix of live music that ranges from country singers to jazz pianists, there’s something for everyone. With new artists performing each weekend, you’re sure to find something to fit your musical fancy.
When making it a night out, be sure to stop by the Riverwalk Booze Boat—a mobile bar setup right on the water, perfectly positioned in front of the live entertainment at the Pueblo Toyota Flood Wall Stage. Sip a drink while floating on the river and enjoy the best of summer evenings in Pueblo.
Pueblo Toyota Discount Days on the Water
Pueblo Riverwalk excursion boat rides are back for the season and open most days, May through September. And thanks to Pueblo Toyota, our exclusive dealership sponsor, visitors can take advantage of $5 boat rides one Sunday each month. These Pueblo Toyota Discount Days happen on June 8, July 6, August 3, and September 7. It’s a great way to enjoy a relaxing cruise at a discount. Be sure to get your Riverwalk boat excursion tickets in advance.
And don’t forget about the pedal boats. Climb into one of the Riverwalk’s irresistible duck-shaped pedal boats and cruise around Lake Elizabeth at your own pace.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, dinner or snacks, and enjoy a movie under the stars on the grassy hill at Confluence Plaza. It’s a free, fun, family-friendly way to spend a warm summer evening by the water.
Eat, Shop, and Stroll
The Riverwalk is more than just events—it’s a destination. While you’re enjoying the sights and sounds of summer by the river, make time to stop at one of the amazing Riverwalk restaurants or shops.

With outdoor recreation, entertainment, and community events happening every week, there’s always something to do at Pueblo Riverwalk, especially in the summer when the weather is warm.
