John Denver Celebration, Aspen/Snowmass
Here’s what you can expect if you come to the John Denver Celebration in Aspen. Events vary from year to year. In the past, they had luncheon concerts at one of the top restaurants in the valley, hayrides, campfires, large venue concerts, smaller venue concerts, nightly sing-a-longs, hikes, wonderful new friendships and a week of music and entertainment that will last a lifetime.
Off season in October is a great time to experience Aspen at a discount with some of the fall colors. Once in Aspen you will meet plenty of wonderful new friends, who are also John Denver fans, who will help direct you to great events, hikes, and other free events. Some favorite locations folks like to visit is the place where the Rocky Mountain High album cover picture was taken on the Roaring Fork, the beautiful serenity of the John Denver Sanctuary, the scenic Maroon Bells, the Windstar land conservancy in Snowmass, and many more scenic areas in the region.

Arts Salon Night, Telluride
Salon Nights are inspired by the legendary Parisian salons – those lively gatherings where artists, thinkers, and dreamers came together to debate, collaborate, and inspire the movements that shaped art and culture. We’re bringing that spirit into the present and rooting it here in Telluride.
These are evenings for conversation and connection, not lectures or formal programming. They are casual, open, and intentionally unstructured, designed to create the atmosphere where ideas can collide, new friendships form, and creativity sparks. Imagine an evening where musicians talk with writers, painters meet photographers, filmmakers share stories with ceramicists – and the unexpected happens!
