Chautauqua Auditorium

Chautauqua Auditorium is a wooden performance venue in Boulder featuring high ceilings and natural light, designed for musical performances and lectures. The space presents a historic setting suitable for a range of artistic presentations.

The venue was established in 1898 as part of the Texas-Colorado Chautauqua Association, which offered educational programs for teachers. It remains one of the few Chautauqua facilities west of the Mississippi River still in continuous operation.

The venue is home to the Colorado Music Festival each summer, drawing orchestras and musicians from classical to contemporary styles. Visitors experience an active cultural space where regular audiences gather for live performances throughout the year.

The venue is located at 900 Baseline Road with convenient parking and food services available on-site. Visitors should know that discounts are offered for AAA, AARP, and military members.

The building was constructed entirely in wood and retains its original 1898 architecture. This authentic wooden structure is rare among Chautauqua facilities and contributes to its sound quality.
