Cultural Events Calendar

Joe Sohm’s “Visions of America” is a 40 year, 50-state, million mile search for the images defining American Civilization on its 250th Anniversary. While each of Joe’s images tell a story, it’s the stories behind the imagery that inspires and entertains audiences across the USA in multi-media presentations at colleges, universities, trade associations and corporations. Joe is a gifted storyteller and his imagery provides the backdrop for his American Journey. In experiencing Joe’s stories and in seeing his stunning imagery, we realize that his story is ours . . . the American story. Joe’s presentations feature original music by Oscar-Grammy-Emmy winners and movie-stars including Clint Eastwood and William Shatner. Now it’s time to buckle your seatbelt and hit the road. The journey awaits you!

A beloved Rocky Mountain tradition, the three-day Snowmass Balloon Festival features 20+ hot air balloons inflating with the backdrop of the mountains and skies of Snowmass Village.

Please note that early mornings in September can be very chilly, and we recommend wearing warm layers and closed-toe shoes.

There is no seating on the field, but spectators are welcome to bring blankets and chairs to sit along the perimeter of the field. Dogs are not allowed on site. There is absolutely no parking on any road shoulders within Snowmass Village due to drought conditions, including Brush Creek and Owl Creek Roads adjacent to the festival grounds. Free parking is available at Town Park Station and the Rodeo Lot, as well as the Brush Creek Park & Ride, with consistent free shuttle service to the site and around Snowmass Village.
