Live music venues in Downtown Dillon?

Question

We will be staying at Dillon Point condos from Monday 9 June for 4 nights.

Had been hoping to go to a concert at the amphithetre on the lake but there is nothing for us during our stay.

Are there any live music venues within walking distance with events while we are there please?

Many thanks

Answer

Dillon is a small town on the shores of Lake Dillon, and while the large amphitheater doesn’t have events during your stay, there are a few options for live music nearby. Downtown Dillon and the surrounding area have some bars and restaurants that occasionally host live performances, especially during the summer months.

Within walking distance of Dillon Point Condos, your options are somewhat limited, but you can explore:

Dillon Dam Brewery: Often has live music events, particularly in the evenings. Check their schedule as local bands frequently play in summer.
The Goat Soup & Whiskey: This bar sometimes hosts live acoustic performances or small bands.
La Riva Mexican Restaurant & Cantina: Occasionally features live music, especially in the early summer evenings, though the schedule varies.

If you’re willing to drive a short distance (5–10 minutes), nearby towns offer more options:

Breckenridge: About 20 minutes from Dillon, Breckenridge has multiple bars, restaurants, and breweries with live music every night during the summer season, including Blue Stag Saloon and Breckenridge Brewery.
Keystone: Also around 15 minutes away, some resorts and local restaurants host live music events.
Frisco: A 10-minute drive; Frisco Bay Marina and a few local pubs occasionally have live performances.

Since Dillon is small, live music tends to be seasonal and scheduled more on weekends. I recommend checking the individual venue websites or calling ahead to see if they have performances during Monday–Thursday evenings of your stay. For a more vibrant music scene, Breckenridge or Frisco are your best nearby options.
