Contrary to what one might assume, Aspen Snowmass can be a reasonably priced vacation spot. With reduced pricing available in the spring, and summer, and by taking advantage of free activities and resort amenities and services, it is possible to have an amazing Snowmass vacation on a budget.
One of the best Snowmass summer activities to take advantage of is the free summer concert series. All summer long you can find local and touring artists to enhance your vacation. You can even hear the music from your Snowmass lodging!
Here’s our guide to everything you need to know about the Snowmass Summer Concerts.
What is the Free Summer Concert Series?
The Snowmass Free Concert Series brings world-class performers to Fanny Hill under the stars. Music enthusiasts of all genres will enjoy the summer lineup of both local and touring acts. These concerts are among the best Snowmass events you won’t want to miss!
A bonus concert on Fanny Hill on Saturday, June 10, as part of Snowmass Rendezvous, is among the free live music performances offered throughout the summer in Snowmass and the Thursday night Snowmass Free Concert Series.
Attendance Guidelines
Where Is It and How to Attend
Musical performances take place at the end of the Snowmass Mall, on the Fanny Hill Concert Stage. In addition to offering free shuttle service to the Snowmass Mall and Base Village, Town Park Station and the Brush Creek Intercept Lot offer free parking. Additional transportation options include the free Village Shuttle service throughout Snowmass and the RFTA bus service from Aspen to the Intercept Lot. The Snowmass Mall stop is the best place to exit the train.
What to Bring
It is advised to bring a blanket or low chairs for sitting down and a jacket or sweater for when it gets dark out. For any bad weather, perhaps a jacket or an umbrella. Many Snowmass eateries in Base Village and The Mall provide takeout for the ideal concert picnic. Plan to show up early? While waiting for the music to begin, you can check out the patios at Stew Pot, Venga Venga, or Ranger Station on The Mall, Base Village, Limelight, and mix6 in Base Village.
No Pets
Because of their sensitive hearing, dogs might suffer harm from loud noise. Service animals are allowed within the establishment following ADA guidelines. However, they must always stay with their owners. Animals that provide emotional support, comfort, and therapy are not permitted.
Outside alcohol is not allowed
The establishment has a staffed bar where you may buy alcoholic beverages (all canned drinks, including beer, wine, and cocktails). Only those who are 21 or older may purchase alcoholic beverages. Before receiving a wristband and buying alcohol, proper identification will be needed and checked. Alcohol is not permitted to exit the concert area.
On-site drink sales are available
While it is not permissible to bring in outside alcohol, sealed, non-alcoholic beverages are permitted. The arena has a water-filling station for those that choose to bring a reusable bottle.
Attendance is anticipated to be high this summer, and parking is scarce. Tourism officials advise carpooling, taking the RFTA or Snowmass Village Transit, or parking for free at Snowmass Town Park.
