Top 3 reasons to attend
There’s no end to celebration in Breckenridge, CO. Always in season, but especially now, is the delicious cider! This weekend we are celebrating this fizzy, amber swig with Bluegrass, food, and friends, of course. You gotta buy tickets (click on the link above the photo); but you get your money’s worth. Also, it’s the ideal party for showing off your new fall wardrobe 😉
The festival is nearing 2 decades and going strong. Apparently earthlings like stories about other earthlings.
It’s a great time to take in a play! Cozy up to two very different comedies this week at Lake Dillon Theater Co. I think the reviews articulate the heart of each play pretty well:
“A heart-wrenching, hilarious play…One of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, full stop…There is something tough being confronted here—the guilt of not being able to make those we love happy—and it is explored with unflinching honesty.” —The Guardian
A comedy about newly weds dealing with each others’ differences, their over priced apartment, and a meddling mama. “A BUBBLING, RIB-TICKLING COMEDY.” – The New York Times
They’re sure to give you food for thought and conversation. Speaking of food…
The Dillon Farmers’ Market is Friday from 9 AM to 2PM on Lodgpole Street in Dillon, CO. It’s such a quintessential Fall activity- so is wearing layers 😉 Here are my favorites at the market:
Well, the last day of the festival has a fixed spot on the first Sunday of October. As it grew and became a crowd favorite the organizers lengthened the fesitval and worked back from that Sunday- so as to take advantage of Septembers warmer weather. Not the romantic answer I had imagined, but there it is.
So, what’s involved in this Bavarian bash in Breck? A massive street party with dirndl (DEERN-dul) dresses and lederhosen (LAY-der-hozen) shorts, German grub and brews, games and live music! It’s kind of a big deal, with a BIG crowd; but, no pets please.
By the way, entry is FREE! But, bring those dollars for beer, brats and a commemorative stein- as seen below.
