42 YEARS OF MARDI GRAS TRADITION RETURNS TO SNOWMASS ON FAT TUESDAY

February 7th, 2024

Snowmass Village, Colo., (February 6, 2024) – 42 years of Mardi Gras tradition returns to Snowmass Village on Fat Tuesday, February 13, 2024. Festivities include a Bead Toss by the 2024 Mardi Gras Royality, Jeff & Anette Kremer; a Bud Light HiFi Concert featuring The Burroughs; performers and DJs; Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Talk & Tour; and Fireworks. The Mother of All Ascensions Uphill Race also takes place starting on Fat Tuesday.

“Mardi Gras is one of our favorite winter traditions here in Snowmass,” says Rose Abello, Tourism Director, Snowmass Tourism. “We love bringing the festive carnival atmosphere to the Village, and the bead toss, music, and fireworks are not to be missed! This year we are so happy to honor Jeff & Annette, long time Snowmass locals, as Mardi Gras Royalty.”

Mardi Gras Royalty

The 2024 Snowmass Mardi Gras Royalty are Jeff and Annette Kremer. 33-year residents of Snowmass Village, Jeff and Annette encapsulate the spirit of the Snowmass Community. After working 31 years as a mental health and addiction supervisor, Jeff is already living the retired life, while Annette retires this month after working 39 years for Aspen Valley Hospital. As many locals do, both lead active lifestyles. Jeff may be seen on his daily run or working out at the Snowmass Village Recreation Center. Annette can be found on area hiking trails, swimming or knitting her latest creation. Annette has been the Queen of her castle for decades, yet still has the skills to repair or construct a variety of household items while Jeff stands by in awe and relief! Their two children, Kellan and Hayley, are 2012 Aspen High School graduates.

Performers, DJs, Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Talk & Tour, & Snowmass S’mores At 1:00 p.m., meet in the Limelight Snowmass lobby to learn the story of the Snowmass Ice Age Discovery during the Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Talk & Tour. This 90-minute tour features stories about the mammoths and mastodons who used to roam, as well as a guided Ice Age Passport Walk through the Village.

Kick off the Mardi Gras celebrations with Kidtoons, featuring free face painting, beads, and noisemakers for kids starting at 1:30 p.m. on the Snowmass Mall and in Snowmass Base Village. Music kicks off at 2:30 p.m., with a local DJ spinning tunes on the Tower Stage. Also at 2:20 p.m., catch the Mardi Gras Royalty as they proceed from the Snowmass Mall into Snowmass Base Village, handing out beads, while Art of Air stilt walkers and jugglers rove around Snowmass Base Village.
