El Farol prides itself in always celebrating the spirit of Santa Fe. The full-service menu at this excellent restaurant includes an impressive selection of tapas and full entrees. There is also live music every night, performed by some of the area's best blues and Latin performers, making it an ideal stop on the nightlife scene.

The Aspen Santa Fe Ballet not only preserves the tradition of dance but the world-renowned organization also prides itself in giving back to the community. With over ten years behind them, the ballet company now begins its second decade of awe-inspiring performances that it is known for. But in addition to offering entertainment and excellent stage productions like Kiss Me Goodnight and Stamping Ground, the organization places education at the top of its list of priorities. To that end, the Ballet provides a Mexican folklore youth program, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet Folklorico, to not only celebrate but preserve some of the area's most vital and time-honored cultural traditions.
