The seasons change fast in the mountains and as the nights get colder our events calendar gets a little shorter! Along with some outdoor Fall celebrations, Summit County has many indoor event options for live music, movies, and theatre.
As always, we are excited for this month's First Friday event in Silverthorne celebrating all things local! Attend the Locals Appreciation Party for a free beer, wine, and liquor tasting event featuring live music from The Samples and the Chris Bauer Band. This is a free community event, but donations to community non-profits are strongly encouraged. In 2019, the Locals' Appreciation Party raised more than $14,000 for area non-profits.
The Annual Pumpkin Fest is also happening in Silverthorne this weekend. The family-friendly Pumpkin Fest located in Rainbow Park allows guests to explore a giant pumpkin patch along with bounce houses, a face painter, balloon twister, fall-themed crafts, pumpkin painting, and much more!
Now, here’s what’s going on this week in Summit County...
