About Lafayette, Colorado

Lafayette's calendar is distinctly art-driven. Art Night Out brings live music and hands-on art to Festival Plaza on second Fridays, and The Collective hosts rotating exhibits like the Día de los Muertos show Arcos y Portales.

The city's creative scene pairs with a compact brewery row — Odd13, Liquid Mechanics and Cellar West among a handful nearby — where local bands and food trucks play through the season. It is a smaller, more neighborhood-feel calendar than the big-city towns, and that is exactly its appeal.

Everything below is Lafayette's live event calendar, verified with a source link and updated as new events are confirmed. For a broader, evergreen guide to Lafayette — the art district, parks and how to spend a day — see the things-to-do guide.

Art walks, gallery nights and festival evenings keep the calendar gently busy through the seasons, and because Lafayette's listings are small and neighborhood-led they are usually easy to get into — new verified events are added to the list below as they are confirmed.
