Nestled in the heart of this historic mining town, the Riverwalk Center, a multifaceted, award-winning performing arts facility is the focal point for summer activities. The performance venue is an 774 seat, radiantly heated amphitheater covered in the summer by a tent structure. The lawn area expands capacity to 2000 people. The Riverwalk Center is the host to an array of colorful cultural affairs, including classical performances by the National Repertory Orchestra (NRO) and the Breckenridge Music Festival Orchestra (BMF), the Blue River Series, Fourth of July concerts and activities, jazz concerts, rock concerts, dance troupes, kids concert series, weddings and much, much more. In the spring of 2008, the Town plans to add a permanent roof to the Riverwalk structure, replacing the signature white tents, which have been a hallmark of the arts in Breckenridge for nearly 15 years.
