What is there to do? I'm getting in on the 17th of August at around 5pm and leaving the 19th. Is there any specific places I should visit, is there any good local bands playing on the 17th or 18th?

What are you interested in?

I don't know what bands are playing there at that time, but you can go to:

to search.
I recommend checking out Red Rocks amplitheatre even it there isn't anybody playing there.
Take care, Chris.
