Summer in Fort Collins, Loveland & Northern Colorado: What to Do and Where to Go

Summer in Northern Colorado opens up some of the best parts of living here.

From Fort Collins to Loveland and the surrounding areas, weekends tend to revolve around getting outside, exploring, and taking advantage of longer days.

If you’re planning your summer, here are some of the most consistent go-to options across the area.

In Fort Collins, Old Town is always a hub for activity with local restaurants, shops, and live music. The Fort Collins Farmers Market runs throughout the season and is a staple for weekend mornings.

Horsetooth Reservoir is another favorite, whether that’s hiking, paddleboarding, or just catching a sunset.

In Loveland, the downtown area and art district offer a different pace, with galleries, sculpture parks, and community events happening throughout the summer. Walking paths and open spaces make it easy to spend time outside without needing a full day planned.
