Steamboat's 50th Anniversary PARTY!
Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:04AM Steamboat’s 50th Anniversary - Saturday, January 12th – All Day!
Steamboat Mountain Village
We're celebrating 50 years of the best skiing in the world. And we're doing it with a boatload of festivities. We start by celebrating Steamboat's birthday on January 12th and we continue with events all month long. The schedule for Saturday’s events include:
- Yampa Valley Boys (8:30am): Enjoy the musical talents of the Yampa Valley Boys throughout the morning Saturday & Sunday beginning at 8:30am in Gondola Square.
- 50th Anniversary Merchandise Tent (9am-7pm): Stop by and check out the amazing deals on limited edition 50th anniversary items.
- Time Capsule Reveal (2pm): We will reveal the contents of the time capsule from 1988 on stage in Gondola Square. The contents will be on display the rest of the day in the Merchandise tent.
- The Congress (2pm): The Bud Light Free Concert will begin at 2pm with The Congress! The Congress are a natural evolution of more than 60 years of purely American music. With a spirit rooted just south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and now calling Denver – “The Queen City of the West” – their home, they’ve got enough soul, grit, and have spent enough time in the woodshed to call them pretty much whatever you want. The Congress plays Rock & Roll.
- Birthday Cake (3:00pm): Come grab a bite of the Enormous, delicious anniversary cake. We will be serving up complimentary slices beginning at 3:00pm.
- Robert Randolph & the Family Band (3:30pm): The Bud Light Free Concert featuring Robert Randolph and the Family Band continues. A virtuoso on the pedal steel guitar, Robert Randolph set the music world on fire in 2000 when he began playing his first club dates in New York City. Randolph started playing the instrument as a church-going teenager in Orange, NJ, a small city just outside of Newark. He regularly attended the House of God Church, an African-American Pentecostal denomination that had been implementing steel guitars (or "Sacred Steel") in services since the '30s, with the pedal steel in particular being introduced during the '70s.
- Lighting of the 50th Anniversary Cauldron (5:15pm): Join us for the lighting of the 50th Anniversary Cauldron. This Cauldron will remain lit throughout the 10 day anniversary celebration.
- 50th Anniversary Spectacular Torchlight Parade and Fireworks Display (5:30pm): The spectacular on-snow torchlight parade will begin at 5:30pm followed by an explosive fireworks display from the top of Christie Peak. The fireworks will be choreographed to a special musical production.
