Aspen Nightlife – Harris Concert Hal

There is always something going on in Aspen, 

Colorado and the Aspen nightlife is very active. 

You can find a wide variety of things to do – but 

if you want a little culture, you should definitely 

find out what events are planned at the Harris 

Concert Hall. 


At the Harris Concert Hall, you will find 

everything from Piano Recitals to Rock-n-Roll 

Concerts. Events are planned well in advance, 

so you should be able to find out what concerts 

and events are scheduled to coincide with your 

Aspen vacation. 


The Harris Concert Hall is located in the West 

end of Aspen, in a quaint residential 

neighborhood. Due to parking and traffic 

problems, you should strongly consider 

walking to the concert hall. It is a short ten 

minute walk from the downtown area. Other 

transportation options include biking or taking 

the bus. When there are events at the concert,

it is very difficult to find parking.


The Aspen Music Festival and School were 

founded in 1949 by Walter and Elizabeth 

Paepcke from Chicago. Many music 

professionals train here and all of the school 

and festival performances take place in the 

Harris Concert Hall, which seats over 2000 

people.


You should definitely try to visit Aspen during 

the Music Festival. This takes place over a nine 

week period in the summer, and there are 

usually more than 200 planned events. People 

from all over the world come to the Aspen 

Music Festival, so be sure that you make your 

plans and reservations early!


Another exciting event that takes place at the 

Harris Concert Hall is the Aspen Film Festival. 

This festival takes place three times each year. 

The Aspen Shortsfest is held in the Spring. The

 Aspen Filmfest is held during the Fall, and the 

Aspen Academy Screenings are held during the 

Winter. Again, people come from all over the 

world for these events, so make your plans 

early.


The Harris Concert Hall is full of history, even 

though the newest section of it wasn’t built 

until recently. This is a major part of Aspen’s 

history and culture, and you should try to attend 

at least one event at the Harris Concert Hall 

while you are in Aspen. Most events take place 

in the evening; however there are also events 

that take place during the day. You can check 

with your lodge or hotel to find out what events 

are planned at the Concert Hall each day. Also 

inquire about the need to purchase advance 

tickets for specific events.

Aspen Nightlife – Theatre in the Park

Founded in 1983 by Kent Reed, Theatre in the Park  has become an Aspen tradition that adds to the  delight of Aspen nightlife. Theatre in the Park once  actually was theatre that was performed in a tent in  the park. Now, however, Theatre in the Park has  changed its name to Theatre Aspen, and a new  permanent structure is in development. This will  allow Theatre in the Park to hold year-round  performances, instead of summer-only performances. Contemporary and classical plays are all presented  by the theatre. If you are in Aspen around Christmas  time, make sure that you see the theatre’s  presentation of “Its A Wonderful Life.” As a summer- only venue, sixty shows are performed each year.  Once the company has its permanent structure, we  can expect many more each year. The Theatre Aspen also has many training programs  for adults and children. Currently, performances are  held between June and August. The Theatre in the  Park is located in the Rio Grande Park. Heat is  provided on

Aspen Nightlife – Syzygy

Syzygy, which is located on East Hyman Avenue in  Aspen, Colorado, has repeatedly won awards for  being one of the best restaurants in this ski town.  Featuring outstanding jazz music and food that is  out of this world, Syzygy is the place to be when it  comes to Aspen nightlife and fine dining. This is an  Aspen landmark that is not to be missed. The chef at Syzygy combines European and Asian  dishes, and presents them in a modern American  way. These combinations are what set the cuisine  at Syzygy apart from the food you find at most  restaurants. Along with this outstanding fare, you  can select wine from a list of over 300 Italian,  American, and French wines. If you aren’t sure  which wine will work with the fine food you have  ordered – simply ask your waiter. They always  seem to know exactly which wine will enhance the  flavor of the food the best. One of the nice touches about the service at  Syzygy’s is that the Chef likes to send gifts to the  table, such as goat cheese, p

Aspen Nightlife – How to Find the Entertainment

 No matter what time of year it is when you visit  Aspen, there is always something going on –  even in the off season. The town is small, but  there are usually several types of entertainment  offered each evening in different parts of the  small town. Generally, you won’t have to search  too hard to find some entertainment – but it is  better to know exactly what is going on all over  town, so you can choose the Aspen nightlife  that best suits your interests. First, call the Chamber of Commerce in Aspen  a few months before your trip if possible. Ask  them what events are planned for the time  period that you will be there. Events are usually  scheduled well in advance, and finding out  about these events well in advance will not only  help you to better make your plans, but it will  also allow you to purchase needed tickets in  advance. Nothing will be more disappointing  than arriving in Aspen and finding out that your  favorite band is in town for a sold out show! Events can come
