My family and I are most excited about the aerial artistry and the in-river performances.  The “Bandaloop” event is an open outdoor rehearsal that combines dance with rock climbing, sport, ritual and environmental awareness. It is somewhat similar to the aerial artistry.  Bandaloop has performed on architectural landmarks, skyscrapers and historic sites around the world.  On August 10th and 11th (times and locations TBA closer to the date), a vertical experience will expand and challenge what is possible!  This will display a film shoot in multiple locations around Breckenridge/Summit County, with a number of sites being open to the public.   Bandaloop will also take place on August 15th at 5 and 6 p.m.,  This is a free, open rehearsal performance that will take place on the facade of a local building that is still yet to be announced.  I’m definitely putting this performance on my list!
