Festival Events: Free & Open to the Public

In addition to exciting concerts, you are welcome to attend the many free events that are open to the public throughout the Festival! Once you’ve made your concert selections, we encourage audiences to browse the dates below to create your own custom “itinerary” filled with opportunities to experience rehearsals, masterclasses, open seminars, and workshops.

During the last two weeks of the Festival (July 14-28), the students of the LEAD Cooperative will be on the mountain and you'll have countless opportunities to be inspired by their talents and their desire to collaborate "outside of the box". This is the best way to get the most of your Festival experience—if you’re curious to learn more about anything listed below, please feel free to attend and invite a friend!

Please note that Coffee Talks are not listed below but they are presented almost daily in the Resort’s Mountain Inn and they are free to the public.
