That means it\u2019s time to celebrate Colorado\u2019s agricultural season and the farmers\u2019 tasty yield. This weekend will have not one, but two harvest-themed festivals for locals and visitors to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Arapahoe Basin Harvest Fest<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Mountain Goat Plaza at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area will become a tasty lunch destination Saturday. Held in tandem with the mountain\u2019s summer concert series, from 1\u20134 p.m., folks can chow down on a Harvest Fest feast as they listen to live music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Goat meat from El Regalo Ranch in Salida will be braised for tacos that are topped with diced onions, fresh cilantro and pico de gallo. Meanwhile, vegetarians can grab Olathe sweet corn cobs dipped in crema, rolled in Cotija cheese and sprinkled with chile lime seasoning. Make sure to save room for a dessert of grilled Palisade peaches, mascarpone ice cream, almonds and raspberry sauce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Harvest Fest is free to attend and dishes range from $3\u2013$10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Keystone Mountain Town Music Festival<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For the sixth year in a row the Keystone Neighbourhood Company is hosting the Mountain Town Music Festival in River Run Village on Saturday. The free event from 1:30\u20139 p.m. is a harvest celebration with four live bands and plenty of local food and drink to imbibe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThis is different because it\u2019s our only festival that goes into the dark with music under the stars,\u201d said Maja Russer, director of events and marketing for the company. \u201cSo it\u2019s unique as far as our festival lineup goes because the other ones end at 5 or 6. It\u2019s kind of fun that this one goes to 9, so River Run is all lit up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The day kicks off with Josh Hoyer &amp; Soul Colossal at 1:30 p.m. Hoyer, who competed on \u201cThe Voice\u201d in 2017, and his band will be bringing soul and funk. Then at 3:30, Jared and the Mill from Arizona will take the stage with their Western rock tunes. The penultimate band, The Brothers Comatose, will perform at 5:30. River Run is a familiar venue to the group, as they\u2019ve played at the Keystone Bluegrass and Beer Festival in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThey drew a great crowd and put on an awesome show,\u201d Russer said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The company tries to grow the Mountain Town festival each year, Russer said, and this time around, they booked indie band The Strumbellas as the headliner. The Canada-based sextet has performed at festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits in addition to making television appearances on \u201cLate Night with Seth Meyers\u201d and \u201cThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert.\u201d Their fourth studio album, \u201cRattlesnake,\u201d released March 29, and the band will play a mix of new tunes and old favorites at 7:30.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">While your ears enjoy the festivities, don\u2019t forget to include your taste buds as chefs whip up creative concoctions that highlight Colorado\u2019s peaches, melon and corn. A few options include Zuma Roadhouse serving up a pulled pork slider with peach chutney and goat cheese along with chicken meatballs with chipotle peach salsa. Frisco\u2019s Shuck Brothers\u2019 Oyster Bar will be rolling in to plate a unique spin on seafood. They\u2019ll have both an East Coast oyster topped with a Rocky Ford melon mignonette on the half shell and a cornmeal-fried oyster paired with an Olathe corn salad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Returning once again are the culinary students of Colorado Mountain College. Their ever-popular booth will be saut\u00e9ing peaches to top on buttermilk waffles and bourbon ice cream. Like in previous years, proceeds from dishes sold go back to the college\u2019s program. Connor Orchards out of Hotchkiss also will be back with their lavender, peaches and plums. Judges will be making rounds throughout the festival to give vendors an award for a best sweet and best savory dish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">To wash it all down are seasonal cocktails and beer from New Belgium and Jim Bean. Food and drink are purchased a la carte with tickets acquired on-site. Tickets cost $1 each, and dishes range from two to 10 tickets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">If guests wish to bring home a memento from the festival, there also will be eight vendors selling items such as Rocky Mountain Outback hats, jewelry from Filosophy, apparel from Be Hippy and other products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Pets aren\u2019t allowed, but the festival is family-friendly with plenty of activities for kids. Children can play in the Cave of Confusion maze, have their faces painted or paint their own harvest-themed sunflower pot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThe kids take home something that actually grows,\u201d Russer said. \u201cIt\u2019s the craft that keeps on giving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For the second year in a row, the Elevation Outdoors Adventure Van will be present for a free raffle. Attendees will have the chance to win hundreds of dollars worth of prizes like camping chairs, tents, outdoor clothing and other gear. The raffle happens at 7:15 p.m., and people must be present to win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhile Mountain Town Music Festival is not quite our last event, we try to finish off the summer season with a bang,\u201d Russer said.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/harvest-time-arapahoe-basin-keystone-host-colorado-food-and-music-festivals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie band The Strumbellas will headline the Mountain Town Music Festival at Keystone Resort on Saturday, Aug. 17.Courtesy Keystone Neighbourhood Company Mountain Town Music Festival will have a variety of local food available, such as dishes made with grilled Palisade peaches.Courtesy Keystone Neighbourhood Company Four live bands will perform in River Run Village at Keystone&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-798576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-19 05:12:08","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSMT The Mountain","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=798576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798576\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=798576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=798576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=798576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
