Going out in Aspen, the capital of après-ski, is fun
year-round and need not be expensive. Check the free papers for
special offers. In summer, downtown hosts several top-notch
festivals. The flagship event is the nine-week-long Aspen Music
Festival , between late June and late August, when orchestras
and operas feature well-known international performers, as well as
promising students who come to learn from musical masters (phone970/925-9042); July and early August see the DanceAspen
festival (phone970/925-7718), which showcases reliably good
contemporary shows.
