Great Stays for Colorado Festivals

Year-round events make your getaway as exciting as it is beautiful. So hit the slopes in winter or visit during more temperate months — it’s almost always time for a festival in the mountains.

Your Ownership offers four ways to stay, putting you near events like a top food and wine festival, a ski competition, and one of the most popular Oktoberfest celebrations in the U.S.

Festival Ideas for Your Colorado Vacation1

The Taste of Vail: Usually April

The Taste of Vail highlights more than 30 of Vail’s finest chefs and restauranteurs, as well as nearly 50 of the top wineries in the U.S. Highlights include the American Lamb Cook-Off and Tasting. It pairs lamb dishes with wine selections from participating vineyards at stands lined up along the Bavarian-inspired streets of Vail Village. The event is about a 15-minute drive from The Residences at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek.

GoPro Mountain Games: June

The GoPro Mountain Games take place in June in Lionshead Village. The games offer a quirky combination of adventure sports competitions, film screenings, art exhibitions, and live music — all with a festival-style ambiance. Competition isn’t limited to humans, either. Dogs also compete in five events, including the ever-popular DockDogs Big Air, Extreme Vertical, and Speed Retrieve — featuring pups leaping off docks into swimming pools.

Vail Dance Festival: Late July/early August

The two-week-long Vail Dance Festival brings top artists and dance companies from around the world to perform at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. The festival showcases a range of dancers and musicians in collaborative and unique performances. There are also several free shows and related events around the Vail Valley.

Oktoberfest: September

Held over two weekends in September, Oktoberfest is a big deal in Vail and Beaver Creek. Attracting revelers from across the U.S., the fest programs include keg bowling, stein lifting, and bratwurst-eating contests. Also on tap are live music, polka dancing, and of course, plenty of beer drinking and toasting. Stay at the The Residences at Mountain Lodge in Beaver Creek to get away from the crowds, and you can catch the ECO Transit shuttle bus to the festivities.*

Xfinity Birds of Prey Ski World Cup: Early December

Beaver Creek kicks off the winter season in early December with the Xfinity Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup Super G and Downhill Races.

Watch athletes compete in two major races. The Downhill Race is the most thrilling as skiers attempt to be the fastest one down the mountain, often exceeding speeds of 80 miles per hour. The Super G race is a one-run event like Downhill, but requires more frequent turns that make it a cross between Downhill and Giant Slalom.

The Birds of Prey event also includes live music shows in the heart of Beaver Creek Village, daily giveaways from event partners like GoPro and Smartwool, as well as athlete signings.

Vail Snow Days: December

Vail Snow Days is a free music festival that also helps launch the winter season. The family-friendly event has featured bands like Modest Mouse, The Rad Trads, and The Head and The Heart.

Where to stay:

For all there is to do and see in the Beaver Creek and Breckenridge areas, your stay should be punctuated with a home-away-from-home that provides comfort, relaxation, and a bit of wonder. 
These options make mountain time magic.
