Music in the Mountains 2025: This Summer's Lineup
Music in the Mountains 2025 is back for another summer of world-class performances set against one of the most beautiful backdrops in the country.
The Festival
Running from late June through early August, Music in the Mountains brings professional musicians from around the country to Durango. The programming spans full orchestral performances, chamber music, jazz evenings, and family-friendly concerts.
The Setting
The outdoor venue with the San Juan Mountains as a backdrop is what sets this festival apart. Watching the sun set behind 13,000-foot peaks while listening to live music is an experience that's hard to match.
What to Know
Check the festival website for the 2025 schedule and ticket information. Outdoor concerts may be affected by weather — bring layers and be prepared for afternoon showers. Many performances are affordable, and some free events are included.
Pair It
Make a week of it. Hike in the mornings, catch a concert in the evening. Raft the Animas one day, attend a chamber music performance that night. Durango in July is at its peak — long days, warm weather, and a full calendar of things to do.
Our townhome Timberline is right across from Purgatory — three bedrooms, a hot tub, a fireplace, and a free shuttle to the lift.
