2026 Discovery Park Summer Concert: Caltucky + 15 Years of the PACE Center Celebration
Born in the foothills of Northern California, Caltucky is a progressive bluegrass band blending tradition, improvisation, and raw energy into a sound that’s both grounded and boundary-pushing. With fiery banjo, soulful fiddle, rich harmonies, and driving rhythms, their music lives somewhere between mountain roots and jam-driven exploration.
Known for their high-energy live performances, Caltucky weaves together blistering instrumentals, harmony-filled originals, and inventive covers that shift seamlessly from foot-stomping breakdowns to groove-heavy, trance-like moments. A rising force on the West Coast circuit, they’ve earned recognition from the California Bluegrass Association and shared stages with acts like Leftover Salmon and The String Cheese Incident—bringing a fresh, fearless spirit to modern bluegrass.
15 Years of the PACE Center: Community Celebration
Starting at 5:00 p.m., join us at Discovery Park for a lively pre-show mini festival celebrating 15 years of the PACE Center!
This special community celebration launches an exciting anniversary season with interactive activities, festive entertainment, and opportunities to connect with Parker Arts partners including Veritas Productions, Denver Ballet Theatre, Parker Chorale, Parker Symphony Orchestra, and the Cultural and Scientific Commission. Enjoy family-friendly fun featuring a face painter, live chalk artist, balloon artist, caricature artist, roaming magician, and even giant bubbles throughout the park. Arrive early and help us celebrate 15 years of arts, culture, and community impact in Parker before the music takes the stage.
