Old Town, Fort Collins, Colo.
In 2013, Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest will once again feature the first-rate talent of Colorado musicians coming from around the state to perform during the three-day, free, outdoor music extravaganza. For years, the festival has made Colorado talent its main focus, and made it a point to highlight a wide range of musical genres within that local talent.
As much a street fair as it is a music festival, Bohemian Nights spreads across six stages, filling historic Old Town Fort Collins to the brim with live music from both headliners and up-and-coming locals, plus great food and cold beer.
You’re going there to see: Headliners will be announced early May.
You’re going to come home talking about: Colorado groups you never knew existed.
