Aspen Nightlife – Harris Concert Hal

Aspen Nightlife – Harris Concert Hal

There is always something going on in Aspen, 

Colorado and the Aspen nightlife is very active. 

You can find a wide variety of things to do – but 

if you want a little culture, you should definitely 

find out what events are planned at the Harris 

Concert Hall. 

At the Harris Concert Hall, you will find 

everything from Piano Recitals to Rock-n-Roll 

Concerts. Events are planned well in advance, 

so you should be able to find out what concerts 

and events are scheduled to coincide with your 

Aspen vacation. 

The Harris Concert Hall is located in the West 

end of Aspen, in a quaint residential 

neighborhood. Due to parking and traffic 

problems, you should strongly consider 

walking to the concert hall. It is a short ten 

minute walk from the downtown area. Other 

transportation options include biking or taking 

the bus. When there are events at the concert,

it is very difficult to find parking.

The Aspen Music Festival and School were 

founded in 1949 by Walter and Elizabeth 

Paepcke from Chicago. Many music 

professionals train here and all of the school 

and festival performances take place in the 

Harris Concert Hall, which seats over 2000 

people.

You should definitely try to visit Aspen during 

the Music Festival. This takes place over a nine 

week period in the summer, and there are 

usually more than 200 planned events. People 

from all over the world come to the Aspen 

Music Festival, so be sure that you make your 

plans and reservations early!

Another exciting event that takes place at the 

Harris Concert Hall is the Aspen Film Festival. 

This festival takes place three times each year. 

The Aspen Shortsfest is held in the Spring. The

 Aspen Filmfest is held during the Fall, and the 

Aspen Academy Screenings are held during the 

Winter. Again, people come from all over the 

world for these events, so make your plans 

early.

The Harris Concert Hall is full of history, even 

though the newest section of it wasn’t built 

until recently. This is a major part of Aspen’s 

history and culture, and you should try to attend 

at least one event at the Harris Concert Hall 

while you are in Aspen. Most events take place 

in the evening; however there are also events 

that take place during the day. You can check 

with your lodge or hotel to find out what events 

are planned at the Concert Hall each day. Also 

inquire about the need to purchase advance 

tickets for specific events.
