JAS: Labor Day Weekend

with Tim McGraw, The Black Crowes and The War And Treaty (9/1)


The internationally recognized open-air festival, the JAS Labor Day Experience, takes place at Snowmass Town Park with the spectacular Elk Mountain Range as a backdrop. Catering to crowds of up to 10,000 people daily, the festival features one main stage and one side stage, the JAS Village, including food, craft, and merchandise vendors, a kid’s corner, and one of the country’s most exclusive VIP experiences.

Previous performers include Foo Fighters, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Keith Urban, John Mayer, Chris Stapleton, The Lumineers, Stevie Nicks, Gwen Stefani and Jimmy Buffett.

Unlike most music festivals, which showcase artists on multiple stages from early in the day until late at night, the JAS Experience is a more “boutique” festival, with performances on just two stages.

The music starts later in the afternoon, allowing attendees time to enjoy some of the Aspen/Snowmass area’s many activities, such as biking, fishing, hiking, golfing, rafting, shopping, and more, prior to doors opening.
