Minturn Market
9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Downtown Minturn
If you can't get enough of Vail's Sunday market, check out Minturn's smaller — but certainly not by way of charm — weekly market, which showcases a plethora of local wares and produce and food and drink. minturnmarket.com
XTERRA Beaver Creek Championship
8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Beaver Creek
The world's premier off-road triathlon makes a pit stop in resident 2015 XTERRA world champion Josiah Middaugh's backyard, where competitors vie for a spot at the 2017 World Championship race in Hawaii (and the $15,000 prize purse). xterraplanet.com

Pirate Story Time
10 a.m., The Bookworm of Edwards, The Riverwalk, Edwards
An entire morning of pirate-themed fun is planned for the little ones at the Bookworm of Edwards, although parents are encouraged to join in the festivities, featuring games, arts and crafts, and story time. bookwormofedwards.com
Live Music with Tony G at Grouse Mountain Grill
6:30 to 10:30 p.m., Grouse Mountain Grill, Beaver Creek
Tony Gulizia, known as Tony G around the Valley's music haunts, entertains on Saturday evening at Beaver Creek's Grouse Mountain Grill. The piano man typically brings along some talented friends for a show that get the crowd up on its feet; be sure to grab a spot at the bar (or book a table) early. grousemountaingrill.com

XTERRA Beaver Creek Trail Runs
8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Beaver Creek
XTERRA continues for a second day, this time with a trail running series (a 5, 10 and 20k) that helps XTERRA world champion hopefuls win necessary points to make it to the final (and doubles as a fun run for local families).
Vail Farmers' Market and Art Show
10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Vail Village
If couldn't get enough of Satruday's market in Minturn, keep strolling, shopping, munching and grooving at Vail's signature Sunday market. Phil Wiggins & George Kilby Jr. perform live jazz at Solaris, and Terry Armistead provides the tunes at the Secret Garden. vailfarmersmarket.com
Open Mic Night at Loaded Joe's
9 p.m., Loaded Joe's, Avon
Local music man BBQ Mike hosts a Sunday night session for the Vail Valley's many talented performers to stop by and take the stage. $3 Shiner Bock specials to accompany the tunes don't hurt, either. loadedjoes.com
