Beaver Creek, Colo., September 6, 2017 – Tickets are still on sale for Hike to the Mic - Beaver Creek’s new mountain-wide celebration of art, music and the outdoors in a stunning Rocky Mountain setting. The festival will feature a mountaintop musical performance on Saturday, September 16, 2017 by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Elvis Costello. Nederland, Colorado quintet Elephant Revival will open the show on Saturday afternoon. Hike to the Mic festivities will take place throughout Beaver Creek on Friday, September 15 through Sunday, September 17 – including live art demonstrations, live music, and morning fitness classes.
Hike to the Mic is truly about the journey, as well as the destination. For Saturday’s mountaintop concert featuring Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Elephant Revival, guests will explore the mountain as they make their way by 4x4 tour, bike, foot, or Centennial Express Gondola up to the Spruce Saddle lawn. Along the way, guests will discover uniquely created art pieces and photo opportunities, along with glorious views of the mountain’s fall colors. Once at the venue, guests are rewarded with a spacious lawn to rejuvenate, grab food and drinks, and enjoy live music at 10,200 feet. Upon return to the Village, guests will be greeted with a Village-wide celebration of more music, art, shopping, and dining – the ultimate after party. All weekend long, Hike to the Mic creates new experiences and showcases the stunning beauty of fall in the Rocky Mountains.
Hike to the Mic is presented in partnership with Michelob Ultra, Supergoop!, and Patrón Tequila.
