Dancing in the Streets: Bands on the Bricks Returns to Pearl Street This Wednesday

There’s something magical about a summer evening in Boulder—clear skies, the glow of the Flatirons, and music echoing through downtown. That magic comes alive once again this week as Bands on the Bricks brings the party back to Pearl Street Mall.

Mark your calendar for Wednesday, June 12, because this week’s headliner is The Long Run, Colorado’s beloved tribute band to The Eagles. From “Hotel California” to “Take It Easy,” this is your chance to sing along to the classics under the Colorado sky—and it’s completely free.

The event kicks off at 6 PM with the opening of the outdoor beer garden, hosted by West End Tavern, featuring local craft brews and refreshing drinks. Live music begins at 7 PM, and before long, the bricks will turn into Boulder’s best dance floor.

Bands on the Bricks isn’t just a concert—it’s a Boulder tradition. For over 25 years, it’s brought together locals, visitors, families, and students to celebrate the power of music and community. Whether you’re dancing barefoot in the crowd or sitting curbside with a cold drink, you’ll feel that signature Boulder vibe: fun, friendly, and always a little funky.

The series runs every Wednesday evening through July 31, featuring an exciting mix of genres—from rock and reggae to funk and bluegrass. Each week offers something different, but the sense of joy and togetherness stays the same.

So grab your friends, your dancing shoes, and your love for summer nights. This is what Boulder is all about.
