The Mishawaka Amphitheatre is a single stage outdoor concert venue located approximately 25 mi (40 km) northwest of Fort Collins, Colorado, on Colorado State Highway 14. It is on the banks of the Poudre River. The restaurant is open year-round and the amphitheatre is open from May to September.

Past performers include Buckethead, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, Israel Vibrations, Medeski, Martin, and Wood, Blackalicious, George Clinton, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, and many others.[1]

It is currently owned by Dani Grant, who bought it in 2010 from Robin Jones. Jones bought it in 1991 "to keep it from being torn down and turned into a parking lot," but was forced to sell it after being caught with 280 lb (130 kg) of marijuana.[2] Nevertheless, Jones wanted to sell the venue to "someone who would keep it a musical amphitheatre."[3]
