The Benedict Music Tent
They call it a tent, but it's really much more than that. It has a solid roof, and can seat nearly 2,000 people. But it's the movable side panels that make the Benedict Music Tent such a favorite of Aspen concertgoers. When the weather is nice, those panels open up and allow the gorgeous sounds to waft out over the lawn. You can bring a picnic, bring the kids, even the family dog. Today, we'll meet some folks on the lawn outside the Benedict Tent, and hear highlights from the great concerts inside.
