Levitt Pavilion’s stage unfolds like a silvery jewel box, its three open sides facing a massive green that has hosted thousands of music fans since 2017. Most of them didn’t pay a dime to get in. The nonprofit organization’s hundreds of free, high-quality concerts over the years have made it an all-ages mecca in Denver’s competitive music scene, as well as a gathering place in Ruby Hill that neighbors have embraced despite the noise and traffic complications.
