Ketchum Downtown Jam & Free Outdoor Sun Valley Nordic Festival Concert with Tim Snider

Celebrate the Nordic Festival with a free outdoor concert with Tim Snider and Sound Society on Thursday, February 2. The concert will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts lot across from the Ketchum post office. The band will start at 5:30 and the finals of the Elite Competition will begin at 5:45.

Quickly becoming the can't be missed event of the nine-day Sun Valley Nordic Festival, the Ketchum Downtown Jam and NordicTown USA Sprint features sprint races with top Nordic skiers, food and drinks and a bonfire to keep spectators warm. The evening includes the legendary World Snowshoe Dance Competition which is open to all and begins at 6:30 (with snowshoes … there will be snowshoes on hand for those who want to join the fun).

This year’s band, Tim Snider and Sound Society, blends music from all over the world into a high-energy, soul-stirring, foot-stomping stew. Tim has traveled to Europe, Cuba, Morocco, Spain, Indonesia and much of Central America in his ongoing journey to study different styles of music. The result: a spicy mix of American roots, world beat and Latin rhythms that gives audiences an irresistible desire to dance.

So bundle up the kids, walk from town or step into your skis and cruise down the groomed Wood River Trail to join the party. Food and drinks will be available for purchase from Galena Lodge and Wood River Pizza Oven.
