Outside Festival Rebrands as 'Outside Days,' Relocates to Denver's Auraria Campus for 2026

Organizers cite Civic Center Park renovations as the reason for the relocation.

The Outside Festival attracted more then 35,000 attendees for outdoor-related events and music last spring at Civic Center Park, according to Outside Inc., the second year of the event.

Overview

  • Outside Days is scheduled for May 28–31, 2026, pairing a two-day industry conference with a three-day outdoor and music festival.
  • The shift from Civic Center Park follows Denver’s $50 million overhaul of the park, with the first phase running into summer 2027.
  • Auraria offers roughly 30% more outdoor space than Civic Center Park and adds indoor programming at campus venues including the Tivoli and the King Center.
  • The expanded Outdoor Summit will feature a job fair, a startup pitch competition, and tracks for travel and endurance event professionals, followed by three nights of music, films, and talks.
  • Organizers reported more than 35,000 attendees in 2025, have not decided if Auraria will be the permanent home, and will reveal the 2026 lineup with ticket presales on December 3.
