Maddie Vincent/Snowmass Sun
The Snowmass Sun will publish a list of village events taking place 10 days out from our Wednesday print days through the rest of the summer season. The most up-to-date event listings can be found at gosnowmass.com and thecollectivesnowmass.com.
SEPT. 10
Brews, Bands and Bingo!
From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. every Thursday this summer, village restaurants will feature food and drink specials during extended business hours for “Brews, Bands and Bingo!”
The weekly event also will feature live music on both the Snowmass Mall and Snowmass Base Village, and $10 bingo at The Collective from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
SEPT. 11 THROUGH 13
Snowmass Balloon Festival
The 45th Snowmass Balloon Festival returns to Town Park this year in a new, socially-distanced fashion. Instead of a festival on the softball field, locals and visitors are encouraged to hit the trails to view the colorful array of hot air balloons in the Snowmass sky. People can also reserve a drive-in space along Brush Creek Road and near the launch site, but no one is permitted to be on the softball field and drivers/passengers are required to stay in their vehicles.
Balloons will launch every morning Sept. 11 through Sept. 13, visible from roughly 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. There will also be a night glow event Sept. 11 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and various Snowmass restaurants will be offering brunch and other food and beverage specials throughout the weekend.
For more information about this year’s balloon festival and to register for a drive-in space, visit gosnowmass.com.

Social Saturdays
Each Saturday through September, the Snowmass Mall will feature a host of socially distanced activities for the new Social Saturdays series.
From stilt walkers, acrobats and magic shows, to chalk art competitions and a strider bike race series, each Saturday will offer something new to locals and visitors. The event runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and mall businesses and restaurants also will be open for extended hours and will feature various food and drink specials.

Movies Under the Stars
Aspen Film and Snowmass Base Village is bringing “Movies Under the Stars” back to Base Village on Saturdays this summer. Locals and guests are encouraged to bring blankets, low-profile chairs and a picnic for the dusk movie tradition, which will kick off around 8:15 this Saturday with “The Lion King.”
Reservations are required and will be on a “first come, first served” basis beginning at 8 a.m. on Thursdays prior to each movie. The weekly events have a 50-person capacity limit and RSVPs for the free movie night can be sent to rsvp@thecollective snowmass.com.
