Welcome to Der Town

A DJ-driven dance experience dedicated to pure celebration. Music, movement, and community come together under one vibrant, electric atmosphere. Created for those who find joy on the dance floor, AlpenGLow brings people together through high-energy beats, glowing lights, and the collective spirit of letting go. More than a party, AlpenGLow is a purpose-powered event: proceeds benefit the ICCA Arts Education Fund, supporting creative opportunities and arts programming for young people. When you dance at AlpenGLow, you’re not just moving to the music, you’re helping ignite the next generation of artists.

Second of four, family-friendly, race events. This race can be completed asynchronously anytime during the date window – or you can race with others during each race's "community start time". Date Window: Jan 30th - Feb 2nd The event offers two race options: a short (5 km) or a long (18 km) tour of the Beaver Creek Trail and Meadow/Sprint loops area. You can opt for classic or freestyle technique. Both options begin and finish at the Meadow Loop trailhead in Plain. You can ski the course as many times as you’d like during the date window. All of your times will be recorded, and your fastest time counts.

A Song & Dance Gathering in the energy of the full moon. In partnership with Icicle Creek Center for the Arts, this gathering is an invitation to come home to the heart through voice, movement, and shared presence. Held in the energy of the full moon, we’ll gather in community to open our voices, soften into connection, and move together in ways that honor both individual expression and the collective field. We’ll begin by warming up with song and gentle connection, creating a grounded and welcoming container. From there, Klarity will guide us through an embodied Dance Medicine journey—inviting the body to listen, release, and express. We’ll close by returning to song, weaving our voices together and landing the experience in shared reflection and heartful connection. Schedule - 2:00 PM — Arrival - 2:15 PM — Opening Circle & Song - 3:00–4:15 PM — Dance Medicine Journey - 4:15–5:00 PM — Song & Closing Circle This is a substance-free event designed to support inner joy, liberation, expression, and connection. No experience is necessary.

Engage with City staff about upcoming and ongoing city efforts. Partner agencies and community organizations will be there as well. This will be an open house format with display tables where you can learn more about these important projects, get answers to your questions from those working on the projects, and provide your input. Light refreshments will be provided. Bring the kiddos (there will be activities to keep them occupied) and invite your neighbors, too! As a bonus, there is FREE parking in the adjacent lots (Aasgard, Blewett, Colchuck) after 4 pm that evening.
