Before the rush of ski season begins, Vail is buzzing with fall events that bring together locals and visitors alike. From gear swaps to music festivals, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
First on the calendar is the Ski & Snowboard Swap, running from October 18-20. This annual event is a favorite for those looking to snag new or gently used gear at great prices. Whether you’re preparing for your first winter on the slopes or upgrading your equipment, the swap is the perfect way to get ready for the upcoming ski season while mingling with fellow snow enthusiasts.
For music lovers, the Annual Free Bluegrass Festival is a must. This festival brings the community together for a day of live performances and a taste of the local culture. It’s a great way to experience Vail’s unique blend of mountain living and artistic vibrancy.
While attending these events, it’s also a great time to explore Vail Valley real estate. With the market slightly cooling this fall, buyers have more room to negotiate, making it a prime time to find your mountain retreat before winter arrives.
