Theatre Aspen - A Local Favorite

In the heart of this community is Theatre Aspen, a local favorite for excellent entertainment. Theatre Aspen's mission is: "to entertain, enlighten, enrich, educate and challenge the residents and visitors of the Roaring Fork Valley through professional quality theatrical productions, new play development initiatives and a broad spectrum of education programs."

The Theatre is located in the center of Rio Grand Park, right ext to the river. During the day, the beautiful outdoor location offers views of Aspen Mountain.

Hot Air Ballooning in the Rocky Mountains


Now this is something you won't see every day! One attraction that makes Aspen a truly unique destination is the Colorado Balloon Classic. The Classic was organized in 1977 and continues to astound onlookers for miles around. The Colorado Balloon Classic is an annual event held on Labor Day weekend, that is fun for the whole family, plus admission is free! The event is held in Memorial Park off Pikes Peak Avenue between near the shores of Prospect Lake. Over 100 balloons ascend into the skies around Pikes Peak during the day. At night, balloons are lit up for the Balloon Glo. On the ground families get the chance to check out how balloons work and get to take a ride if they are brave enough to climb hundreds of feet in the air.

Even if you can't make it for the Balloon Classic, a hot air balloon ride overlooking the Rocky Mountains, might quite possibly be one of the most beautiful site-seeing ventures you will ever embark on. In the Fall, climb above the peaks as the gorgeous aspen trees shimmer below. During the winter, see the Rockies with a dusting of snow. You can't visit Aspen and not enjoy this amazing adventure for the whole family!
