Events here follow the seasons, so what you find on the calendar typically depends on when you visit.  

Summer brings outdoor concerts, community celebrations, farmers markets, sporting events, and gatherings that take advantage of the long days. Fall features arts and cultural events, including the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, along with seasonal celebrations and opportunities to experience the valley as the pace of summer changes. 

Winter events often center on snow, skiing and snowboarding, Pedigree Stage Stop, Western traditions, live entertainment and holiday celebrations, while spring brings the Old West Days Festival alongside the transition between winter and summer seasons. 

You'll also find events tied to Jackson Hole's arts community, Western heritage, food and drink, outdoor recreation and local organizations. Because schedules and offerings change from year to year, use the events calendar to see what's happening during your visit and explore individual event pages for current details. 

How Events Fit into a Jackson Hole Vacation 

An event can be the reason you choose a particular travel date—or simply become an addition to an itinerary you've already planned. A music performance can follow a day of hiking, a cultural event can complement a visit to local galleries and museums or a seasonal celebration can give a family trip a distinctly local experience. 

If you're planning around a popular festival, competition or holiday period, book lodging and make dining reservations early. Events can increase demand for hotels and restaurants, particularly during peak travel seasons.
