A useful guide to things to do in Monument CO this summer does not need another disconnected list. The more local answer is simpler: Monument’s summer calendar follows two recurring stages with two distinct rhythms.
Wednesday evenings belong to the free Concerts in the Park series at Limbach Park. Sunday afternoons belong to the Summer Music Series at Goat Patch Brewing–Monument. The first is a downtown dinner-and-concert tradition that finishes in July. The second is a beer-garden series that keeps going into October.
Once you understand that rhythm, planning the rest of summer gets easier.
Start with the contrast, not the calendar
| Limbach Park | Goat Patch Brewing–Monument | |
|---|---|---|
| Regular time | Wednesdays, 6:30–8:30 p.m. | Sundays, 2–5 p.m. |
| Setting | Downtown park concert | Brewery beer garden |
| Season | June through July | May 3 through October 4 |
| Food and drink | Scheduled food trucks; no alcohol or liquor permitted | Craft beer; food availability varies by date |
| Planning detail | Free admission; lineup subject to change | No reservations; check the Monument event calendar |
That difference matters. Limbach Park works as a midweek downtown dinner plan. Goat Patch creates a longer Sunday routine that continues after the Town concert series closes.
Stage one: finish July at Limbach Park
The Town of Monument’s Concerts in the Park series has been running for more than a decade. Performances take place at Limbach Park, 151 Front Street, from 6:30–8:30 p.m. on Wednesdays in June and July, excluding July 1.
By mid-July, two Town concerts remain.
Wednesday, July 22: Ashtonz
Ashtonz brings a direct Monument connection to the schedule. The group works across pop, rock, blues and country, with playful changes to familiar classic-rock material.
The scheduled food vendors are:
- Ciao Down
- Heavenly Tacos
- Down South
- Kona Ice
This is the better of the two remaining evenings for listeners who want variety rather than one narrowly defined style.
Wednesday, July 29: Mojo Filter
Mojo Filter closes the 2026 Limbach Park series. The scheduled food vendors are:
- Grilled Cheese
- Crepes-n-Go
- Ciao Down
- Xtreme Coffee Roasters
Mojo Filter also appears later in the Goat Patch schedule on September 13. That repeat booking helps explain the larger point of this guide. Monument’s two stages are part of the same local music circuit, but they create different ways to hear it.
What to know before going downtown
The Town lists the concerts as free and confirms that food trucks are available. Alcohol and liquor are not permitted at the park.
The eight 2026 performances were expected to draw several thousand attendees across the season. Arriving early and allowing time to walk from your parking spot is the practical choice. No official 2026 parking map or formal weather policy was available in the reviewed Town information, so avoid relying on an unofficial parking recommendation.
Bands and food vendors may change. Check the official Town schedule before leaving home, especially when weather could affect an outdoor event.
Stage two: Sunday music continues into fall
The second stage comes with a new name in 2026. Goat Patch Brewing–Monument officially replaced the Pikes Peak Brewing Company name on January 1.
This is a continuation of Monument’s brewery story, not a newly opened taproom. Pikes Peak Brewing opened in 2011, Goat Patch acquired it in late 2024, and the location reopened under the Goat Patch name in January 2026. Familiar recipes including Elephant Rock, AdAmAn and Gold Rush remained part of the regional beer lineup during the transition.
The correct Monument address is:
1756 Lake Woodmoor Drive, Monument, CO 80132
Use that address rather than trusting every embedded event map. Some individual event pages have displayed the Lincoln Center address even when the event description identifies the Monument location. The main Goat Patch–Monument event calendar is the safer planning resource.
The regular Summer Music Series runs from 2–5 p.m. on Sundays in the beer garden. Goat Patch does not accept reservations. Well-behaved dogs are permitted in the outdoor areas at the Monument location, so pet owners should plan for outdoor seating.
Sunday, July 19: SofaKillers
SofaKillers plays the next regular Sunday session on July 19 from 2–5 p.m. This date offers the straightforward version of the Goat Patch routine: an afternoon set in the beer garden without the larger anniversary schedule that follows the next weekend.
Food-truck availability varies from one Sunday to another. Confirm the current listing instead of assuming food will be offered at every performance.
The weekend to circle: July 24 through July 26
Goat Patch’s ninth-anniversary weekend turns the Monument location into a three-day live-music stop. The posted schedule includes four performances:
- Friday, July 24: John Spengler & The Frenemies, 2–5 p.m.
- Saturday, July 25: Father Bacon & The Sizzle, 1–4 p.m.
- Saturday, July 25: Mojo Filter, 6–9 p.m.
- Sunday, July 26: Chinaflower Suncats, 2–5 p.m.
Chinaflower Suncats describes its Colorado performances as “Dead” music, giving Sunday’s set a different focus from the pop, rock, blues and country mix associated with many Limbach Park dates.
The anniversary schedule also lists Bowl in the City, Springs Cupcake and Dr. Taco across the weekend. Face painting by Rivers’ Mom Paints is scheduled for Sunday.
More activities may be added. Treat the current schedule as a plan to verify, not a fixed promise.
Why the Sunday stage changes the rest of summer
Limbach Park’s final concert is July 29. Goat Patch continues for more than two additional months.
That extension keeps the two-stage idea useful even after the stages stop operating in the same week. The Town series provides the concentrated June and July tradition. The brewery carries recurring live music through August, September and the first weekend of October.
August at Goat Patch–Monument
- August 2: Tiny Pockets
- August 9: BJ Estares & Route 61
- August 16: Annette & Doug Conlon
- August 23: All That Chicken
- August 30: David Chapa
September and October
- September 6: Roma Ransom
- September 13: Mojo Filter
- September 20: Redraw the Farm
- September 27: The Constant Tourists
- October 4: Poudre Valley Playboys
Each performance is currently scheduled from 2–5 p.m. The lineup is broad enough to make the series a recurring Sunday option rather than a one-date event. Check the live calendar for changes and food details before each visit.
Fill the days between the two stages
The weekly pattern becomes more useful when you connect it to Monument’s other recurring local events.
Add a Thursday Art Hop
Monument Art Hop takes place from 5–8 p.m. on the third Thursday through September. The 2026 summer calendar includes July 16, August 20 and September 17.
The event spreads across participating downtown businesses rather than staying in one venue. The Town describes a mix of artists, live music, refreshments, pop-ups, special events and occasional book signings.
Art Hop works as a different kind of downtown evening from Concerts in the Park. Wednesday centers on one stage and scheduled food trucks. Thursday encourages walking among local storefronts and seeing what each participating business is hosting.
Keep Saturday morning local
The Monument Hill Farmers Market fills the Saturday slot between the two primary music days. It operates from 8 a.m.–2 p.m. at the Lewis-Palmer District 38 administration building, 66 Jefferson Street.
The market generally runs from Memorial Day weekend into early October. That schedule lines up closely with Goat Patch’s extended Sunday series, giving residents a Saturday and Sunday pairing after the Wednesday concerts finish.
Make room for a downtown stop
When hours line up with your plans, several named downtown businesses can extend a Limbach Park or Art Hop outing:
- Lolley’s Ice Cream serves small-batch ice cream, baked goods and espresso drinks.
- Lolley’s Tasting Room is the company’s indoor and outdoor event-space extension.
- Trails End Taproom is a restaurant and self-pour taproom with beer, cocktails, cider, wine and kombucha.
Check each business directly for current hours. Summer event schedules can outlast regular storefront hours, and the goal is to build a workable local plan rather than assume every stop will be open.
A practical Monument summer rhythm
For residents deciding what to do without overplanning every weekend, this is the clearest way to use the calendar:
- Choose Limbach Park for a Wednesday dinner plan. Go before July ends, arrive early and remember that alcohol is not permitted.
- Use Goat Patch for Sunday afternoon music. The series continues through October 4, so there is less pressure to fit everything into July.
- Watch the July 24–26 anniversary weekend. It has the most concentrated Goat Patch–Monument schedule of the season.
- Add Art Hop when you want a walkable downtown evening. The posted summer dates are July 16, August 20 and September 17.
- Use the Monument Hill Farmers Market as the Saturday anchor. It runs from 8 a.m.–2 p.m. at 66 Jefferson Street.
- Verify the day-of details. Outdoor conditions, performers and food vendors can change.
The local insight is not that Monument has more events than expected. It is that two recurring stages now organize the season in different ways. Limbach Park owns the Wednesday evening tradition. Goat Patch carries Sunday music into fall. Art Hop, the farmers market and downtown businesses fill the space between them.
That is a more useful answer than another summer roundup because it gives residents a routine they can repeat.
Local knowledge for what comes next
Knowing Monument means understanding the weekly details as well as the property market. The same local perspective that helps plan a summer evening also matters when timing a sale, comparing homes, evaluating land or preparing for a move within the Pikes Peak region.
