Wow - we have a LOT going on at Old Town Pub and in Steamboat in general this weekend February 4-6, 2011. So here's the long and short of it (and we thank you for being a blog reader!)
FRIDAY, February 4, 2011
It's the First Friday Artwalk 5pm-7pm. If you need to stop by for a warm up while walking around, pop into the Old Town Pub for hot drinks to warm your belly. And, of course, come on by aftewards for fabulous food in our dining room or delicious pub grub in the bar. I (Lizzie) am definitely going to be out and about supporting the arts of Steamboat. I'm particularly excited for shows at the K Saari Gallery with my new favorite artist and Steamboat new resident Ann Murphy. For more on the art walk, click on my steamboat scoop blog
Friday, February 4, 2011 LATE NIGHT - we've got live music from Jet Edison. Boulder's up and coming rock, blues, funky jam band.
Saturday, February 5, 2011 - Winter Carnival Street Events: 9:00am-noon! Come see the time of year when Steamboat parents throw all the safety rules by the wayside and hook their kids on skis behind horses! It's a blast it's a 98 year tradition and it's all happening downtown right outside the Old Town Pub (or down the street a tad). The 96th winter carnival was even featured on Good Morning America's Weekend Window. Watch the video below:

And we know you'll be swinging through the Old Town Pub throughout the day to have a microbrew or a delicious lunch.
Saturday NIGHT February 5: The Lighted Man, Fireworks and all kinds of fire jumping fun at Howelsen Hill at 6:30pm. Dress warmly - I'm talking ski pants, hats, ski gloves etc. It's cold out there, but well worth watching the nighttime glowstick fun!
And then pop on into the Old Town Pub for DINNER after the lighted man show (or before the show for an early bite to eat with little ones who can't stay up that late). AND Don't forget to buy your Winter Carnival button. It's required for entry at all events and it's a fantastic souvenir/keepsake and it's what keeps our amazing Winter Sports Club funded throughout the year - training all those olympic hopefuls! Buy your button at the chamber or from our favorite neighbor (across the street from Old Town Pub) at ALL THAT JAZZ!
And then for the LATE night goers - we've got live music on Saturday night from Fort Collins' BETTER THAN BACON.
And then there's Sunday with a double whammy of the famed Steamboat Springs Winter Carnival Parade and the SUPER BOWL. good thing they're not at the same time!
My favorite shot of the parade right in front of the Old Town Pub. We're the only town in the country whose high school band performs on skis!
And then for the football fanatics out there we have the SUPER BOWL! We've got HD TVs and all your favorite football yummies. Wings, jalapeno poppers, and most importantly BUDWEISER (and lots of other fun microbrews).
And last, but certainly not least. We've got the Old Town Pub 2nd annual Super Bowl AFTER party. Live music with faves Sam Holt, Eric Martinez & Steamboat's Eric Barry! It's fun, it's wild, it's better than the halftime show (in our opinion) and we hope you'll join us this weekend for one or all of these amazing events!
The parade brought color on the white and cold season! I find it funny how they all can perform having skis on their feet. I totally enjoyed it! And the most awesome part which is Super Bowl, made my day! the security was so tight but just right for safety's sake. A lot of companies invest in the event which makes it very exciting every year. I'm happy that my year started right, before I head back here in Bristol and I am looking forward for the same leisure next year!
