Steamboat Springs makes it very easy to get your concert fix each winter to spring with the 26th Bud Light Rocks the Boat Concert Series. Watch free concerts at the base of Steamboat Ski Resort in early April to cap off the ski season.

- March 8 – Clay Street Unit
- March 15 – Magic Beans
- March 22 – Cool Cool Cool
- March 29 – Wheeland Brothers
- April 5 – Drunken Hearts
- April 12 – Southern Avenue

Free Concert in April
Various musical talents and bands will perform at Steamboat Ski Resort, so look forward to live music from the afternoon until sundown. Bud Light Rocks the Boat always attracts top musicians from all around.
Since this will be a series of concerts free for all, expect the event venue to be crowded with plenty of people, so get a spot up close early. Nonetheless, it will be a great chance to meet other concertgoers and see some favorite bands. While the kickoff date and venue are set for the Bud Light Rocks the Boat concerts, the list of performers is yet to be announced.
For those who will be traveling to town, there is a myriad of hotels in Steamboat with something for all budgets. Aside from the free afternoon concerts that’ll be happening, other activities like sleigh riding, horseback riding, and snowshoe tours are other options for you to enjoy.
There are also breweries, restaurants, shops, and even hot springs to enjoy all week. Travel packages that combine lift ticket deals are offered in case you might want to enjoy a hassle-free stay in the valley.
