The AAM's annual Old-Fashioned Fourth of July parade float and celebration attracts families from throughout the Roaring Fork Valley, Aspen residents and visitors alike.

FOURTH OF JULY PICNIC AND FAMILY ART ACTIVITY (ALL AGES)

Wednesday, July 4, 1:30 pm

 

Join us after Aspen's Old Fashioned Fourth of July Parade—featuring the AAM's seventh annual float project by a contemporary artist—for a free picnic and family art activity on museum grounds. Free BBQ from Hickory House and beer provided by New Belgium Brewing will be on hand for you to enjoy. This year's AAM float is designed by Los Angeles-based artist Mungo Thomson, who is known for his humorous, conceptually driven work.

 

Mungo Thomson’s Fourth of July project is organized by the Aspen Art Museum and funded in part by the AAM National Council with additional support from Alison and Mark Pincus.
