About LPJH

The Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, recognized as the Rocky Mountain West’s premier cultural event, will take place September 9 -20, 2020, this year in Jackson, Wyoming, celebrating art, food, history, wine and design. Presented by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, the Fall Arts Festival presents more than 50 family-friendly events both outdoors and indoors, including gallery walks, open air food fairs, wine tastings, ranch tours and live art demonstrations. Although, this year due to Covid 19-concerns, some of the events will be hosted virtually/online.

September is the perfect time to travel to the charming mountain resort town of Jackson, and the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival presents more than 50 family-friendly events, many of them free, at a time when the summer crowds have dwindled and the scene has shifted to a cooler, calmer and more creative climate. As USA Today said touting Jackson as a fall weekend trip to plan, “Art lovers will enjoy September’s Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, featuring nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, as well as great music and food.”

Each September visitors to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, can take in a spectacular range of cultural activities and outdoor adventures during a time when the days are long, the air is cooler and there are artful offerings to nourish the soul.

It should come as no surprise that our favorite thing to do in Jackson Hole this time of year is to enjoy our two national parks. The colors are beautiful, the animals are coming lower into the valleys and, most importantly, these tourist type areas much less populated. We can arrange a private tour of our parks for your visit because the wildlife can be a buzz this time of year.

If you like to venture out on your own, hiking and biking in the cooler temperatures is enjoyable for both beginners and the experienced. There are a multitude of trails in our parks as well as around the valley. Our pathway systems will keep you busy all day.

Maybe time on the Snake River is more your speed, this is the perfect time to get your fishing on and our local outfitters have put protocol in place to keep you and your guide safe. Although, you might plan to enjoy the tranquility of the river on your own by taking advantage of wade fishing.

Take a moment to relax and lean into the slower pace of life Wyoming has to offer. Whether it be sitting outside on your patio or taking a hike to watch the sunset, we invite you to come stay with us. We have many exclusive retreats to choose from.
