Snowmass in summer is ground zero for festivals and special events, but it seems every day is a party of some type in the village.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer 2019 has been wonderful in Snowmass \u2014 with a series of events and activities like never before \u2014 and it\u2019s not over yet,\u201d said Rose Abello, director of Snowmass Tourism. \u201cIn addition to hosting some new bigger events, we have a series of weekly events that create fun and vitality for locals and visitors alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

Top on that list of weekly happenings are Fridays on the Mall. Started last summer, these evening events include live music by Aspen Music Festival students and other local musicians, extended hours and specials at local retailers, happy hour food and drink deals, local artisans and authors, s\u2019mores and more.<\/p>\n

This week, for example, local favorite Dan Sheridan will be playing tunes on the Mall. Upcoming Fridays include gigs by musicians Charley Wagner and Chris Perry & Friends, as well as activities such as the Rosybelle Carbondale Art Bus for tye-dying.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always make a point to come to the Thursday concerts when we\u2019re in town, but we\u2019re pleasantly surprised by all that\u2019s going on other days and nights, too,\u201d said part-time Snowmass Village resident Sara Sanders at a recent Friday on the Mall. \u201cIt\u2019s really makes things lively when there is so much to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the activities on the mall, there is the Friday Afternoon Club and Artisan Market in Snowmass Base Village, which showcases a variety of locally owned businesses selling specialty food items, clothing, handcrafted goods, art, jewelry, accessories, and Colorado-sourced vegetables. <\/p>\n

Sanders and her family also were lucky enough to enjoy one of Snowmass\u2019 Movies Under the Stars, which featured \u201cStar Wars: Episode IV A New Hope\u201d being screened on Fanny Hill. Other movie nights are planned for Friday, Aug. 3 and Aug. 27. They will feature family-friendly movies from the 1970s and \u201980s on The Rink in Snowmass Base Village (free popcorn is provided).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve really seen a boost in business with all the weekly events,\u201d said Wendy Harris, owner of The Ranger Station, which serves up $5 Fat Tire drafts and happy hour specials from 3 to 6 p.m. \u201cIt\u2019s been great fun, and so amazing to see how much people love Snowmass. We always have, but now the secret it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
