Dine with a Festival Partner

Looking for a bite before or after the concert? We’re proud to partner with a variety of nearby Boulder restaurants offering delicious food and exclusive perks for Festival guests. Whether you’re after a quick snack or a leisurely dinner, you’ll find great options just steps from the music.

Offer: 30% off all drinks with proof of same-day festival ticket | Sip something special at Osaka’s, Boulder’s go-to spot for authentic Japanese comfort food and creative drinks. Whether you’re stopping by before a show or unwinding after the music, enjoy 30% off all beverages—alcoholic and non-alcoholic—when you show your same-day festival ticket. Our menu blends traditional flavors with a modern twist, all served in a warm, inviting atmosphere just minutes from the heart of the festival. www.osakasrestaurant.com 

Offer: Complimentary dessert with dinner | Opening our doors in 2010, we sought to bring something new to the University Hill Neighborhood. Taking our inspiration from the restaurants and bistros of Spain and France we aim to provide a comfortable ambiance paired with flavorful dishes made with care. Over the years Cafe Aion has become the go to spot for a leisurely workday lunch, happy-hour celebration, a place to grab a pre-theater dinner or linger with a love. We look forward to welcoming you in! www.cafeaion.com
