Music scene · Aurora

Aurora spreads across the eastern edge of the Denver metro area with a scene tied to suburban community life. Local parks, churches, and community centers host seasonal concerts and cultural festivals. Most live music consumption happens in Denver, 15 minutes west.

Community centers and church halls host local recitals and cultural music events. A handful of neighborhood bars along Colfax Avenue and in the Havana corridor host acoustic nights and small cover bands. The Aurora Fox Arts Center supports theater and occasional live music.

Aurora has produced few nationally recognized artists. The scene is dominated by local acts, church musicians, and cover bands. Many musicians perform in Denver venues.

Check community center bulletin boards and the Aurora Fox for local events. Community College of Aurora offers music classes and student ensembles. Connect with the Denver scene, 15 minutes west, for open mics, venue gigs, and industry contacts.
