Located on Hopkins Avenue & Hunter Street, one block from Aspen Square, the market also features more than 45 artisans. As the days get cooler, the smell of roasted peppers fills the air on Saturday mornings, luring locals and visitors alike to the delights of the market. The market takes place every Saturday from 8 am until 3 pm, weather permitting, and will run through the month of October.

The 100 mile route takes the best rides in Aspen and combines them into one amazing ride through the vibrant fall foliage of the Rocky Mountains while raising funds to benefit the Aspen affiliate of the Susan G.

That very same weekend, the Mother Lode Volley Ball Tournament brings this fast-paced sport to various venues around town. But then, as the aspen leaves turn bright yellow, as the skies turn a deep cloudless blue, it is the quiet time between summer and winter. We offer reduced rates for this wonderful time of the year ? the time for Ruggerfest (September 14-17), the breathtaking Snowmass Balloon festival (September 15-17), and for enjoying the fine dining available in Aspen ? without the wait and the advance reservations.
