Ring in the new year where Aspen comes alive. The town hums with live music, fireworks, and that unmistakable alpine energy. At Limelight Aspen, you’re steps from the celebration but worlds away from the rush—sipping champagne fireside, swapping stories, and counting down in good company. Start the year in comfort and in style.
No tickets, no velvet ropes—just good tunes, great food, and even better company. Join us on December 31 starting at 2 pm until 1 am as we ring in 2026 the laid-back, light-up, and lively Aspen way. Come as you are, stay as long as you’d like.
When it comes to New Year’s Eve events in Aspen, few do it better than The Little Nell. Start your night with dinner at Ajax Tavern or Element 47—both just steps away—and then step into their legendary Silver Solstice celebration for the annual Dom Pérignon party. Fine food, flowing champagne, and a hint of celestial magic set the tone for an unforgettable night beneath Aspen’s starlit sky.
Nothing says New Year’s Eve in Aspen like live music at Belly Up. This iconic venue brings in big-name acts—this year it’s LCD Soundsystem—for a night that’s as electric as the crowd. Dance, sing, and welcome the new year Aspen-style: bold, joyful, and a little bit wild.
At 8 pm, Aspen Mountain lights up the sky in true Aspen New Year’s Eve fashion. Watch the fireworks from Limelight’s terrace patio (or from select mountain-facing rooms) for the perfect mix of cozy and spectacular. Champagne optional (but encouraged).
Start your New Year’s Eve early with some of the best turns of the season. Fresh powder, bluebird skies, and a full day on Aspen Mountain, or venture across our other three peaks for new terrain and fresh perspective. The perfect way to welcome what’s ahead.
Get a head start on the celebration with a Silver Queen Gondola ride up Aspen Mountain. Take in the crisp winter vistas in the low, post-solstice light, then refuel with bites or après drinks at Sundeck, located at the top of the mountain. A New Year’s Eve with views like this? Pure Aspen insider.
Steps from the Silver Queen Gondola and Aspen’s downtown buzz, Limelight is your home base for the holidays. Whether you’re heading to dinner, the slopes, or the next great party, everything’s within easy reach. Warm fires, mountain views, and a front-row seat to Aspen New Year’s Eve—that’s how we do winter.
