It was a great time with everyone this year to celebrate John Denver's life, music and legacy! From the concerts at the Wheeler Opera House, to special events and concerts at the Mountain Chalet and nightly sing-a-longs, a great time was had by everyone! Many thanks to all of the artists, musicians, organizers and volunteers for making the week so successful. It truly was like being home surrounded by good friends and great music!
Please see below for more details on 2024!
We're excited to announce that John Denver Week/AIO will be October 2 - 7, 2024!
We will continue all of our wonderful traditions and enjoying the places close to our hearts and John's spirit in Aspen, while we are expanding our presence into Snowmass.
Our host hotel for the sing-alongs will be the Mountain Chalet Snowmass, owned and operated by our long time friends and supporters, the Melvilles, who are committed to creating a great experience for us in our new 'Home Away From Home.'
The Snowmass Chalet will offer the same qualities we love about our Aspen Chalet home - affordability, family style breakfasts, and a large lobby to host the nightly sing-alongs.
Craig Melville will now be accepting reservations for Snowmass Chalet 2024. People can stop at the desk and speak with Craig or email him directly at craig@mca.travel.
The other option is to call the Snowmass Chalet directly. When making a reservation, specify a 1 king or 2 queen room. Please leave the 2 queen rooms available for groups or families.
Reservations will default to a $999 price until the rates are set in April/May 2024. You will receive an email at that time with the current pricing information.
There are other lodging options available in Snowmass and Aspen for those who might prefer a more boutique experience, and the sing-alongs are open to all to join, regardless of where you stay.
