Western Garden Party & Hoedown at The Aspen Chapel

We are very excited to once again host the annual Garden Party in the Aspen Chapel Gardens on Tuesday, August 11th from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This beloved tradition will feature an experience that blends our special English garden party with a unique western hoedown!
Musicians from the Aspen Music Festival along with a western dance band will continue the tradition of “Englishness” with a fun hoe down – square dance style. English and “western” food delights, entertaining music, and time in our beautiful gardens and chapel will provide an event that is truly unique in Aspen.
Our dedicated committee includes Bruce Merrifield, Tracy Merrifield, Kathryn Henderson, Louisa Goldsmith, Linda Sandell, Bobbi Teliska, Nicole Tarumianz, Linda Aibel and Maureen Callahan. This year’s Western Style Garden Party will be even more spectacular and will feature:
Wine Tasting and Wine Auction
Silent Auction with a variety of unique, local gifts, items, and services, including a special piece of art
Garden and Western Hat Competition
Beautiful English Teas, Cakes and Western Delights
Live music from the Aspen Music Festival
A western band and square dancing!
