RSS this is life in austin/aspen
After Food & Wine, I’d say the next most-talked-about thing by people who have lived or visited Aspen in the summer is “those free outdoor concerts … on the mountain … in Snowmass …” they usually say, as if recalling the good times first and barely letting me break into their reverie for the details of where. It’s technically called the Free Thursday Night Concert Series, and it starts this Thursday at 6:15pm, and every Thursday after that until August 19.
Bring a blanket or lawn chair and a picnic basket. Beer, wine, and “grilled foods” are for sale, and there are reportedly always people relaxing and chilling and people going nuts and dancing up a storm. Kids play in a bouncy castle with other kids, so it’s pretty perfect.
Here’s the sched:
July 1 – Firefall followed by Fireworks (ha)
July 8 – Beausoleil
July 15 – Papa Grows Funk
July 22 – Pure Prairie League
July 29 – Carrie Rodriguez
August 5 – Tab Benoit
August 12 – Holmes Bros
August 19 – These United States
