The Most Colorful Time of Year in Snowmass

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.

Schedule of Events

Saturday September 25 & Sunday September 26, 7:00am - 9:00am

Arrive early to see the balloons before they go up in the sky and grab some food and coffee or tea to watch the mass ascension! The festival grounds are open 7:00am - 9:00am.

After the launches, head into the village for a bite to eat or explore the trails in the perfect fall weather!
