The internationally acclaimed songwriter John Denver called Aspen home for much of his life. His love for and surrounding himself with the Rocky Mountains inspired many of his songs. In celebration of his life and the environmental conservation impact he made in the area, a yearly tribute and festival takes place each year in October here in Aspen.
This year's John Denver Celebration is Oct. 6 - 12. Throughout the week, there are musical performances, sing-a-longs, luncheons, and meet-and-greets. As an annual October event, it is a great time to visit Aspen as the weather is cool and crisp and the aspen trees are all golden in color.
The event schedule is still pending. Check back for more details!
