Wow, lots on the calendar this weekend in Vail! Come to the mountains this weekend to experience what two or three days here are like in the summer.
We start things off with the Vail Antique Festival, which takes place in Lionshead this Friday through Sunday.
Sunday morning you can cheer on the racers at the annual Vail Half Marathon, part of the Vail Recreation District’s La Sportiva Vail Mountain Trail Running Race Series. The runners start right behind The Galatyn Lodge at the Golden Peak base area, wind their way up the mountain over 14 miles, and cross the finish line at Eagle’s Nest, at the top of the Eagle Bahn Gondola.
After watching the runners start their grueling trip up the mountain, stroll into the center of Vail Village to experience one of Vail’s most popular events, the Vail Farmers’ Market. This weekly event is held every Sunday morning throughout the summer, and is recognized as the largest farmers’ market in the Colorado high country, if not the entire state!
Don’t forget to ask us about our complimentary ticket plans for the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival. Stay with us and get free tickets to the general admission lawn seating area at the Ford Amphitheater. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra just finished up their annual stop in Vail, and the Philadelphia Orchestra is in town this week. We close out the season with the New York Philharmonic in late July.
