For decades, the City of Lafayette has been a haven for musicians of all styles and backgrounds, from Latin and jazz to hard rock and soul. The Lafayette Music Fest offers up the chance to see some of Colorado’s best acts share our community’s collective stages for one special day.We welcome you to be part of the magic that is the Lafayette music scene.
Lafayette Music Fest is put on by Rock for the People, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Lafayette, CO with the mission of building an inclusive live music community by offering free and low-cost rehearsals and recording to musicians from historically underrepresented groups. Because there’s nothing more fun than playing in a band, and your life will be better for it!
