The Beaver Creek Summer Calendar, Organized The Way Residents Actually Use It

Somewhere around the second week of June, the village stops being quiet. The gondola spins up on June 14, the ice rink disappears under a covered stage, and by the following Thursday there is live music on a schedule you can set a dinner reservation to. If you own here, the interesting question is not what there is to do this summer. It is how to build a week around it.

The short answer: two evenings, one Thursday and one Saturday, run from mid-June through mid-September. Everything else in Beaver Creek's summer, the ticketed dinners, the Vilar shows, the July 3 celebration on Larkspur Bowl, orbits those two anchors.

The village core hosts two free outdoor concert series on a rotating cadence, both staged on the covered ice rink with the mountain rising behind the band. They do not overlap, which is the point.
