ASPEN, Colo. — The Aspen Farmers Market is a go for this summer, although it will look, feel and sound very different from what people have become accustomed to over the past 20 years.

To help slow the spread of COVID-19, the market, which begins June 13, will be limited to agricultural and fresh food vendors.
There will be no artisan booths set up to peruse their wares, or live music to listen to, or alpacas to pet.
“This is not a social environment this year,” Mitch Osur, the city’s director of downtown services and parking, said this week. “Because of social distancing, we don’t want people hanging out, so now it’s get in and get what you need and get out.”
