Apres Jazz at The Center: Annie Booth

Free Event

Wrap up an exhilarating day on the slopes or wind down after a busy workday with an enchanting evening of free live jazz in the warm and inviting ambiance of the Kinder-Padon Gallery at the Center for the Arts.

Enhance the evening with a selection of expertly crafted cocktails, refreshing beers, or fine wines available for purchase at the bar, perfectly complementing the vibrant atmosphere. This complimentary event is the perfect way to transition from an adventurous day on the mountain to a delightful dinner in town, blending relaxation, sophistication, and community spirit.

On March 18, we’re thrilled to announce that jazz legend and educator Annie Booth will join us from the front range to tickle some ivories.

Featuring drinks from Anthracite Spirits.
