Summer begins in June in Sun Valley.  

The wildflowers are blooming; the days are warmer and are getting longer, which can only mean that summer has arrived.  Summers in Sun Valley are always a special time to be here.  Not only do we have amazing weather but there is so much that happens here during the season and it all starts in June.  

Some of the most popular events that are favorites for the locals and visitors alike are the free outdoor concerts.  There are three different series that begin starting June 20th with the Town Square Tunes every Thursday 6-8 at the Ketchum Town Square.  Next is the Ketch’em Alive concert series starting June 25th and every Tuesday from 7-9 at Forest Service Park in downtown Ketchum.  Bring your blanket, a picnic and be ready to dance your shoes off.  The last free concert is the Jazz in the Park, starting June 23rd, from 6-8 pm every Sunday at Rotary Park across from the YMCA.  Some of the best jazz artist from all over the west come and share their wonderful music in a beautiful setting, near to the Bigwood river.   

Other notable events that will be beginning in June are the Ketchum Farmers Market starting June 11th and running until October.  Every Tuesday from 2-6 on 4th street, next to Ketchum town square the street is blocked off and filled with great local vendors.  On June 28th the gondola and the Roundhouse Restaurant will be opening for the summer season.  Take a memorable ride in the Gondola and then a lift to the top of Bald Mountain for the most amazing views of Sun Valley and the surrounding mountains.  If you feel more adventurous then hike or bike one of the many trails available on the mountain, go clear to the top or stop at the roundhouse for a great lunch or drinks on the deck and enjoy the views and mountain breezes.  

This summer Sun Valley will be a host to many amazing concerts and events.  June 29th marks the start of the 3rd Annual Ride Sun Valley bike festival and the USA Cycling Marathon Mtn. Bike Championship.  Also returning this summer for its second year is the MASSV music festival July 5th -6th.  Mark you calendars in July for the Sun Valley Ice shows, Sun Valley Wine auction, Ketchum Arts festival, and the Sun Valley Summer Symphony that will keep your Sun Valley adventure rolling into July and through to August.
