One of the cool things about Palo Duro Canyon isn’t just the beauty, the formations, and the hiking trails; it’s the Pioneer Amphitheater. It’s a beautiful stage that uses the canyon as a backdrop. Our area is blessed enough to have the TEXAS Outdoor Musicaleach summer, a wonderful musical that brings people from all over. Then we get to experience Shakespeare in the Canyon in the summer as well.
What happens when the summer ends and the weather is still nice? Why should the Pioneer Amphitheater sit empty? It shouldn’t. That’s why the wonderful people who bring you the TEXAS Outdoor Musical and Shakespeare in the Canyon are bringing you an amazing fall concert.
