The Sounds of Summer

The Lagoon Concert Series is a celebration of NoCo life! Live music from some of the best local bands is performed in the beautiful setting of Colorado State University’s lagoon-and the best part…it’s FREE! The series is produced each summer by the Mantooth Marketing Company and is made possible by the generous support of many local businesses, including RE/MAX Advanced, Inc.!

The Lagoon Summer Concert Series has been a summer event in Fort Collins for over 22 years! Help us keep the tradition going by attending Wednesday night and make sure to stop by our table for games, goodies, and a chance to win a prize!

Danielle Ate the Sandwich

She’s bold. She’s brilliant. Most importantly, she’s back! Danielle Ate the Sandwich returns to the Lagoon stage for the final performance of the 2016 season.

For those who have yet to proclaim themselves a “Fanwich,” here’s a brief introduction: An alum from CSU, Danielle Anderson’s music career started right here in Fort Collins. It was at local open-mic nights where she began showcasing her powerful songwriting skills and ukulele prowess.

She then began uploading simple videos on YouTube featuring her unique originals and masterful covers while demonstrating her trademark off-the-wall humor. Nearly a decade later, Danielle has:

Traveled all over the world with her trusty ukuleles in hand
Wrote music for the Emmy-nominated documentary “Packed in a Trunk: The Lost Art of Edith Lake Wilkinson”
Obtained more than 40,000 YouTube subscribers and almost 8 million views for her videos
Over 14,000 Facebook likes
Independently produced five albums
Wrote over 50 original knock-knock jokes…

More than 2,000 people will come out and watch her perform on August 3rd and it’s so easy to see why. She has a rare ability to connect with her audiences and perform in a way that is deeply moving.

You might cry, you’ll probably laugh, but if one thing is for certain, Danielle Ate the Sandwich will leave you bewildered by the inimitable talents of Ms. Anderson and her band. Did we save the best for last? We’ll let you decide.

FAQ

We want to make sure you’re well prepared when you come down to the Lagoon. Here are some of the answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Are dogs welcome?
Yes! In fact, you’ll see plenty of dogs at the concerts. We just ask you please use your best judgement and make sure they are leashed.

Where is the best place to park?
We encourage attendees to take other modes of transportation (i.e. the MAX, bike, walk, etc.), however if you have to drive your own car we have have several options for you. You can park at the Lory Student Center, the dorm parking lots or Moby Arena. Parking will fill up fast and the majority of the CSU lots are only free to park after 4 p.m.

What items are not allowed at the Lagoon Summer Concert Series?
Due to the nature of the University’s dry campus and the Lagoon Series lack of alcohol permit, we ask that you please leave your alcoholic beverages at home. Other than that, feel free to bring your picnic, other snacks and drinks, blankets and chairs!

How do I get to the Lagoon?
The Lagoon Summer Concert Series is held near the lagoon at the Colorado State University campus, on the corner of Plum and Meridian. Or park at one of the MAX Transit locations and take the MAX to the University Station. Head west on University Ave. for the CSU Lagoon!
