The Vail Valley is exploding with events this weekend!
The Vail Arts Festival kicks off on Friday in Lionshead Village with over 60 vendors. This open air market is a great place to pick up a new sculpture or a hand made piece of jewelry. The festival runs until Sunday.
The 4th Annual BBQ Bonanza is Saturday and Sunday in Vail Village with live music, BBQ and a pig race. Swing by and grab some BBQ from local restaurants as they compete for the coveted title of Vail’s Best BBQ!

The holidays in Vail can be a magical combination. This year looks to be better than ever with Vail’s, week long, Holidaze celebration. The holiday activities include Snowman decorating, kids glow stick parties, and free concerts by Milkshake and Brady Rymer & The Little Band That Could. Got a sweet tooth? I hope so, because Brownies and Candy Canes will be given away at the base areas all week. All these fun, family activities, along with some great early season snow, promise to make Vail “the place to be” this holiday season.

Labor Day Weekend
Sunday, September 5, 2010, at 2:00 PM.
Presented by the Marketplace on Meadow Drive
Thousands of rubber ducks travel through the heart of Vail on Gore Creek once a year for The Vail Rotary Duck Race!
The rubber ducks, which sell for $5 each, are dropped into the Gore Creek Sunday at the Covered Bridge. The ducks then float quickly down the creek toward the finish line at the International Bridge. The first 20 ducks to finish win prizes for their owners. The money raised goes toward the Salvation Army’s food bank, scholarships for local students and the Children’s Medical Voucher Program, which gives local children without health insurance vouchers for medical care. The Antlers at Vail will be purchasing a large amount to help out as always and we’re still offering 15% off your Vail room rate for Labor Day Weekend! So, if you’re looking for a great option for Labor Day Weekend, pack up the kids and head to Vail.

The 20th annual Taste of Vail got under way on Thursday, April 8th with several events including the Lamb Cook-Off and Apres Ski Tasting. Local chefs were quite creative in their lamb dishes and participating wineries showcased an assortment of wines. The weather was perfect and quite a crowd attended.
The 2nd Place winner was a lamb tamale topped with jicama slaw and green chili from the restaurant Ocotillo located in the Vail Marriott. The sample margarita was sweet and tangy. (I really wished it was full sized.)
Festivities continue today with several seminars and with the popular Mountain Top Picnic. Saturday is the final day ending the food feast. The big daddy of food and wine tasting is the Grand Tasting and Dinner Dance at the Vail Mountain Marriott Saturday night. This main event features all Taste of Vail restaurants, wineries, and guest chefs. For a complete schedule of events and ticket information please call 970-926-5665 or visit www.tasteofvail.com
