Aspen's winter concerts happen in three places: **Belly Up** downtown (Diplo December 18, LCD Soundsystem December 30 to January 2, Marshmello January 29), the [**Wheeler Opera House**](https://aspenprive.com/wheeler-opera-house-aspen/), and two festivals on the snow: **X Games** at Buttermilk (January 29–31, 2027) and **Palm Tree Music Festival** in Rio Grande Park (February 19–20, 2027). Summer 2027 brings the **Aspen Music Festival** (early July to late August; 2027 dates not yet published) and Jazz Aspen Snowmass over Labor Day.

Dates come from each venue's or festival's own site; Belly Up and the Wheeler checked November 8, 2026, the festivals on the dates shown on their own guides. Where a lineup is not announced, we say so.

## What Aspen Privé can arrange for this

Dinner, the car home and the house ready.

- [A driver for the evening](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=evening-driver) (From $210 per hour): A car and driver on call for dinner and the night out, so nobody hunts for a taxi at midnight.
- [A nanny or babysitter](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=childcare): We find and brief a nanny or babysitter for the days the little ones aren't in ski school, or the evenings you go out: at the house, the same person all week if you like.
- [Après, ready at the house](https://aspenprive.com/contact.html?service=apres-ready): Come in from the mountain to the fire lit, something warm to drink and a spread laid out: set up while you ski by our chef or caterer, from groceries already in the house.
- [Private chef](https://aspenprive.com/private-chef-aspen/): Dinner at the house, menu agreed in advance.
