The Mishawaka Amphitheatre is a single stage outdoor concert venue located approximately 25 miles north-west 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 pounds of marijuana.[2] Nevertheless, Jones wanted to sell the venue to "someone who would keep it a musical amphitheatre."[3]
