Since 1993, it has sat next to the Blue River, right in the middle of town. Over those 30 years, world-class musicians, rock ‘n’ roll bands, wedding parties, nonprofits, politicians, filmmakers, community members and visitors have been welcomed into its spaces. The National Repertory Orchestra has called it home since it was built. On Friday, July 28, the Riverwalk Center will get a chance to be celebrated during the Riverwalk 30 Anniversary Carnival.
“The Riverwalk 30 Anniversary Carnival captures everything wonderful about the Riverwalk Center: world-class talent from every corner of the globe has graced its stage, and it serves as a true pillar of our community,” said Tamara Nuzzaci Park, president and CEO of Breck Create in a news release. “So much fun has been had here, and it’s a giant point of pride for our organization to manage it for the Town of Breckenridge.”
The center’s origins can be traced to a temporary event space in the same location of the current Riverwalk Center. A temporary tent was maintained by local volunteers, and it hosted a summer chamber music festival put on by the Breckenridge Music Institute, according to the news release. In the early 1990s — after a restoration project helped beautify and restore the section of the Blue River that ran through downtown Breckenridge, and with plans to include a walkway along the water, a need for an anchoring space for the new riverfront and the then-Keystone headquartered National Repertory Orchestra looking to find a new home — plans emerged for a performance space that could offer a new home for the orchestra and a welcoming venue for a variety of purposes.
