Looking for some fun around town? Carbondale is celebrating 117 years of Potato Days (if you know Nicole, this is on brand)! Check out the link for fun events all weekend long!
Enjoy an evening in the heart of the Carbondale Creative District with additional hours and offerings from local galleries, restaurants, and retail shops.
Reservations are required to visit Maroon Bells by car or shuttle - the RFTA shuttle system also runs from Aspen Highlands. It’s best to take the bus, and the majority of the time, it’s your only option.
Saturday from 9am-2pm
The Roaring Fork Valley offers some of the finest fly fishing in Colorado, and Carbondale lies in the heart of it. Sitting at the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Crystal Rivers, and only a 15-minute drive to both the Colorado and Frying Pan Rivers, Carbondale serves as the perfect base-camp for anglers wanting to explore our remarkable fisheries.
