The Ringholz Studios is celebrating its one year anniversary. It is a free community event. The information contained on the card below will get you tuned in…
As with any Ringholz event, prepare to be wowed with a truly memorable evening. A good time will sure to be had, see you there!
The Pearl St. Market is a local favorite. Filling the void for a downtown market and offering deli, meat & fish, veggies, desserts, bakery items, prepared foods and more. On the corner of Pearl and Cache St., a block South of the Town Square (toward the Snow King ski area).
Pearl St. Market’s philosophy is a simple one: offer the highest-quality, freshest, and most cutting-edge products that we can find in every category. This way you can rest assured knowing that as you bite into that new cheese from a small Italian mountain farm or serve up a Jackson Hole raised Mead Ranch Ribeye
The wide array of high quality meat, fish and baked goods are what draw me there. The sandwiches are delicious, my favorite is the Hot Pastrami.

Head to the Heritage Arena on the night of November 14th 2015 for a rowdy good time. Jackson Hole’s Fireman’s Ball is celebrating it’s 75th year!!! Don’t miss this one. Their motto “come to our party and we’ll come to your fire” should be reason enough. The Ball is the Association’s primary means of generating revenue for measures not provided by County funding. For the past 75 years, the Firefighters Association has been hosting the Fireman’s Ball, making it one of the oldest traditions in our valley. We will have local food vendors, live and silent auctions, gun raffles and of course, ice cold beer and cocktails served by Jackson’s bravest.
This year’s line-up will feature the North Mississippi Allstars with Anders Osborne, Sam Bush Band, Chancey Williams & the Younger Brothers Band.
***This year’s silent and live auctions will wrap up early in the evening, if you are keen to bid on this year’s awesome items, please arrive at 6:00pm***
JACKSON FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION: The Association represents local firefighter/EMTs in the town of Jackson. Our firefighters respond to fire and medical emergencies from Station 1, in downtown Jackson and Station 7, in Adams Canyon.
The Jackson Firefighters Association provides funding for firefighter training courses and continuing education, life saving equipment aboard our fire apparatus as well as emergency funds for the families of local fallen or injured firefighters. Last year, the Association purchased a new cardiac monitor for Medic 10, our downtown and busiest ambulance. This new monitor allows us to transmit EKG rhythms to the hospital to better and more rapidly diagnose heart attacks in the field. The Association also helped to purchase a new fire engine for Station 7, which was put into service last summer and protects the Melody Ranch and Rafter J area. Simply put, the Association is there for local firefighters just like those men and women are there for the Jackson community.
Mormon Row is located in Grand Teton National Park, just North of Jackson. Take step back in time and explore these rustic homes, barns and cabins. The magnificent backdrop will leave you breathless on a clear day. Well worth the side trip to take in this historic piece of Jackson Hole.
With the Tetons looming n the background, sunrise and sunset can provide excellent lighting for those with photographic interests.
Fly Jackson Hole aerial tours in a propeller driven plane. Experience Jackson Hole from the air. Seeing the valley from the air in an intimate environment is very unique. Flight times can be arranged throughout the day, with multiple tour options available. Photo opportunities abound. If you are “all thumbs,” a professional photographer can be hired to ride along and capture the experience for you.
No matter what the season is, you can take to the air, tours are available all year long. Repeat visitors to the area can take take in aerial views of this dramatic landscape at different times of year. Flights can accommodate up to seven passengers. If you are looking for a uniquely romantic experience, take in the alpenglow, with a sunset tour. Scenic flights are well worth piecing into your Jackson Hole adventure, hot air ballooning and glider flights are also available in the area.

The Teton County Fair signals the heart of Summer in Jackson Hole. The fair grounds will be humming with activity all week long making this possibly the most entertaining time to visit in Summer. Visitors to area will find all the usual fair delights; rides, 4-H displays, livestock, petting zoo, nightly entertainment. The nightly events including the rodeo, live music, pig wrestling, figure 8 races and more. Parking at the fairgrounds is $10.
There is a food court located inside the main fair grounds with all of your usual delights. I recommend not missing out on some local fixin’s over by the events tent. Located on Snow King Ave., the tent hosts talent shows etc. throughout the day, which provides some entertainment while dining. You will find a large grassy area with some picnic tables located near the “Big Top” events tent.
My favorite is the philly cheese steaks or cheeseburgers at the Rocky Mountain Ministries food booth.
A collection of rides and games can be found around the fair’s “midway” that are sure to thrill children and adults.
Figure 8 Races seem to be a big hit with locals and visitors. In years past the Demolition Derby was the Sunday night featured event. Soon after the introduction of of the Figure 8’s, it replaced the Derby.
This event combines the smash and crash of a derby with a little finese. Cars race around a figure 8 track where “rubbin’s racin’!” A fireworks display concludes the fair on Sunday evening. Come on out and enjoy our fair!

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is this years feature for Thin Air Shakespeare. Running July 11 & 12 and again on July 17 & 18, 2015. Showing at the Center for the Arts’ outdoor lawn venue. The lawn opens for seating at 6:30pm with the show commencing at 7:30pm. Bring a blanket and picnic dinner along to enjoy. A bit of bug spray is recommended. The intimate space makes for fabulous viewing. The experience is wonderful, I look forward to this opportunity each Summer. The best part……it is free!!!
Director Edgar Landa has put a wonderful Western twist/flavor into this version of Shakespeare’s classic. Some place names have been localized to bring it even closer to home. I attended the first weekend showing and was thoroughly entertained.
Kicking off during the Summer of 2013, Thin Air Shakespeare is a community favorite.
Rubber Duckies, are inflatable kayaks designed for aquatic exploration. This a unique and exciting way of river running is safe and fun for the whole family. Inflatable Kayaking is far more thrilling than traditional white-water rafting and have no problem handling turbulent water.
These boats are extremely maneuverable and quite resilient. One of the most exciting ways to ride the river. The boat rides low in the water making smaller waves during the late summer much more fun. No previous river experience is necessary. Experienced instructors will familiarize you with equipment. After providing a brief river safety course and paddling instruction your adventure begins. You will find these watercraft amazingly simple to control. The section of the Snake River that is run, provides class III rapids. All equipment and transportation is included.
Myself and members of my family have enjoyed taking the Duckies down the Snake. Guided trips are offered by Rendevous River Sports.

The Gallatin River ZipLine is located between Bozeman and Big Sky, Montana, right off highway 191, just over an hour drive North from West Yellowstone. The dramatic scenery includes towering limestone cliffs, pine forest and a rushing river. This is the area where the movie A River Runs Through It was filmed. On these tours, you start by ascending sky bridges to a tree platform 55ft in the air! Both tours have two Zips across the Gallatin River! The Super Zip adds to the experience with more adventure elements. Test your balance on our swaying wooden swings or try our optional cargo net climb.
Yellowstone Ranch ZipLine is located on the historic Stermitz Ranch in the mountains bordering Yellowstone Park, just outside of Gardiner, MT. The tour will take you up a mountainside and then soaring back down. Gaze at the gorgeous pristine vistas, listen to the gurgling mountain stream and watch for wildlife on this remote and scenic property. To add to the thrills, go for the Grande Tour. Two of these zips are a breathtaking 1200+ft and take you flying ridge to ridge, 200ft above Cinnabar Creek! The trips meet in Gardiner and we shuttle you to and from the zip line course.
I have been receiving very positive reviews from guests touring the area. If you are in Gardiner or West Yellowstone take a sometime to include Zip Yellowstone into your vacation.

By far one of the most entertaining and laid back events to hit the Hole. Locals thoroughly enjoy this day of all ages entertainment. I look forward to this day each year, the food is delicious and the music line-up tends to be quite good. The original version started out being hosted at Cutty’s Bar and Grill, located across from Alberstons. After a number of years the Boil outgrew its digs and had to relocate to the Snow King Ballpark.
Doors Open at 4:30pm with music beginning around 5:30pm.

A new event hitting the Hole this Summer. The Contour Music Festival will occur over the second weekend in June. This will be first festival of this magnitude to be hosted in Jackson. There is an extensive line-up of musicians, covering a variety of musical genres. The event looks to be a good one, with multiple venues and a strong line up of acts.
Jeff Stein and Matt Donovan are our hosts. They have worked diligently to get Contour off of the ground. The three words they are using to describe the Contour experience are: intimate, innovative and elevated. Contour is a non-genre specific event, one that should be attractive to a wide audience. Part of that idea is having the chance to be introduced to music types that people may not have previously experienced. Designed to be an annual event, with increasing impact and benefit over the long-term, we all hope that this inaugural events goes well. It is exciting to have the community of Jackson to host an event of this caliber.
2015 Line Up:
Thievery Incorporated, The New Mastersounds, Sabo, The Librarian, Danny Corn, Sango, G Jones, Autograf, The NTH Power, Charles Bradley and his Extraordinaires, Screen Door Porch, Moon Taxi, Papadosio, The Polish Ambassador, Mr. Whipple, One Ton Pig, El Papa Chango, Cure for the Commoon, Tiger Fresh, Country Hammer, The Congress, Shaprece, Roosevelt Collier Gospel Brunch, Spirit Family Reunion, Roadkill Ghost Choir, Orgone, Mikey Thunder, Patti Fiasco, The Cave Singers, Sweater Beats, Quixotic, Djemba Djemba, Deltron 3030 and many more local and international acts.
The Main Stage will be at the Snow King Ball Field with music wrapping up around 10p.m. each evening. Late night shows will follow and will be hosted at the Pink Garter Theater, Center for the Arts, Town Square Tavern, and the Silver Dollar Bar in the historic Wort Hotel.
For further information on the event, click Contour Music Festival.

The South entrance to Yellowstone National Park, which is the nearest to Jackson Hole, is ready to accept visitors. Spring is an adventurous time of year to visit the area. Weather can be unpredictable, but wildlife is on the move! The melting snowpack provides a beautiful contrast to the local mountains.
Most animals in the area will follow the receding snow line into the high country surrounding the valley. Elk in particular migrate in large number in and out of Yellowstone, wintering here on the National Elk Refuge. You may see large numbers of animals still on the refuge or just a few stragglers, depending upon the snowpack.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has slowly grown their Spring offerings. The continually beefed up Spring schedule offers visitors and locals an opportunity to take in some great acts. Last year culminated with 3 nights of free concerts, one in the town of Jackson and two at the Jackson Hole base area. This year a number of free concerts and events fill the March Calendar here in the Hole.
There are a few jackson Hole classic’s this months to boot: Dick’s Ditch Banked Slalom 3/7 & 3/7, Marmot Coombs Classic 3/22, and the ever popular Pole, Pedal, Paddle on 3/28.
Dubbed “March Radness,” the mountain resort and the community have put together a great month. We will again see a featured concert in town on March 20th. That will be followed up by two performances in Teton Village over the same weekend.
Headliners for this year include:
March 20 in the Town of Jackson
Jason Spooner and Robert Earl Keen
March 21st in Teton Village
Mix Master Mike along with Michael Franti & Spearhead
March 22nd in Teton Village(under the Tram)
Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real
Don’t forget about the biggest weekend of the year, the World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb taking over the Hole from march 26th thru March 29th. Held at Snow King Mountain Resort, well worth checking this event out, amazing!
2015 Events is cancelled due to poor snow conditions
The World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb is held each March on Snow King Mountain. The race is put on by the Jackson Hole Snow Devils, a local snowmobiling organization. This event fills the town and attracts over 10,000 spectators throughout the course of the weekend. The race course rises nearly straight up from the base of Snow King. It is simply amazing that riders are able to pilot these machines up such a steep pitch.
It was not until the early 90’s that many sleds even had a chance of summiting the challenging course. With the advent of new technologies, since the mid nineties, it is truly a race versus a high point competition.
The Octane Addictions Freestyle Demo is a snowmobile jumping event at the Teton County Fairgrounds rodeo arean. Tickets are $20.
This event is sure to provide some high speed thrills and spills! The central viewing area and that corner of town in general tend to be pretty lively. If you have never seen something like this before, make some time to take in the hill climb. The racing heats up over the weekend with qualifying Saturday and the finals, “King of the Mountain,” on Sunday. Racing starts up early at and generally lasts until 5p.m. or so.
Schedule of Events.
Take the chairlift to the summit and back down to see the race from an entirely unique perspective. The views of the valley from the chairlift on a clear day are pretty spectacular as well. Should choose to walk down along the course, be prepared for a steep and potentially thrilling descent.
Book your lodging early as the town tends to get pretty full over the hill climb weekend. With the event being held in town, many properties are with walking distance of the hill climb. Utilize the S.T.A.R.T. bus to get around town. Don’t drink and drive, there tends to be a heavy police presence around the valley for this event.
