Bluegrass Sundays Description

Bluegrass Sundays is a summer music series held atop Aspen Mountain, featuring Colorado bluegrass bands performing at the Sundeck at 11,000 feet elevation. The event takes place on Sunday afternoons from mid-July through early September, running from noon to 3pm each week. Attendees can reach the venue by hiking, running, or taking the Silver Queen gondola to the summit. The 2026 season dates will be announced, with the band lineup to follow.

Each week showcases different musicians who perform traditional and contemporary bluegrass styles in an outdoor mountain setting. Bluegrass Sundays attracts both local residents and visitors looking to experience live music while taking in panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Food and beverage options are available at the Sundeck during performances, allowing guests to enjoy refreshments while listening to the music at altitude.

The series has become a recurring part of Aspen’s summer entertainment calendar, drawing audiences who return throughout the season. The open-air format and mountain location provide a casual atmosphere where people gather to listen to music and spend time outdoors. The event runs alongside other Sundeck programming, including Classical Saturdays from July 6 through August 10, which features performances by Aspen Music Festival & School students at 1pm on Saturdays. Access to Bluegrass Sundays requires a gondola ticket for those taking the Silver Queen lift, while those who hike or run to the summit can attend once they reach the Sundeck. The combination of elevation, scenery, and weekly musical performances has established the series as a notable summer activity in the Aspen area.
