When travelers find themselves longing for time away from the hustle of life, Jackson Hole, Wyoming is just the place to embrace a vacation experience at its best! While this incredible locale is loved by visitors in every season, an end-of-summer adventure this way in August is something you won’t soon forget. This time of year, the event calendar is always packed with options for local fun and adventure. The following are just a few of the experiences you won’t want to leave off your itinerary when you head to Jackson Hole in August.
Check Out Sunday Fundays at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort with Family and Friends
Every Sunday throughout the month of August, Sunday Fundays will be hosted over at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

In addition to these deep discounts, Sunday Fundays are a chance for visitors to participate in a weekly disc golf tournament at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, and those who perform in the top tiers will be treated to fun prizes for their efforts. In the evening hours of Sunday throughout the month of August, Fundays will conclude with cocktails over at Tram Dock too. From beginning to end, it’s a Sunday filled with thrills you won’t want to miss.
Enjoy a Free Guided Tour at the National Museum of Wildlife Art
When you’re looking for budget-friendly and equally inspiring events to enjoy in Jackson Hole this August, the National Museum of Wildlife Art is the place to be. Each Wednesday, there are opportunities to attend their special “Walk-Up Wednesday” events, which begin at 11:00 am and come with a free 45-minute guided tour included with the cost of every admission ticket. This is a first-come, first-served experience, so be sure to show up early, ready to learn more about this fascinating destination and its many exhibits in town.
Make the Most of a Wild Encounter
If you find yourself in Jackson Hole this August alongside fellow travelers with a shared passion for wildlife, you won’t want to leave the Flights and Feathers experience off your list. This special event is hosted on Thursdays throughout the month of August at 11:00 am over at the Jackson Hole Airport. Attending means treating yourself to the opportunity to get up close to some spectacular birds of prey showcased right on-site. Specialists will be on hand to answer questions about these incredible creatures, and you can stick around until 1:00 pm to make the most of this fascinating and educational experience. You don’t need a reservation in place to enjoy this event; simply come as you are with an open mind and a willingness to be inspired by nature.
Include Great Live Music into Your Lineup
August is most certainly a month for great musical performances in Jackson Hole, so if you’re looking for top entertainment to add to your itinerary, you can rest assured you’re in the right place. Make some time to enjoy swing music with dancing included every Sunday of the month from 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm over at the Stagecoach Bar. Music will be performed by the Stagecoach Band, a group that has been entertaining audiences here successfully since 1969! Concerts on the Commons in nearby Teton Village will also be on through August 17, 2025, this year. This is a free music series for locals and visitors alike to enjoy each summer, with performances kicking off at 5:00 pm on Sundays. If you happen to find yourself more in the mood to provide entertainment to the masses during your August getaway, there’s an open mic night hosted at Cowboy Coffee on the first Thursday night of the month at 7:00 pm to consider attending as well. The 34th Annual Targhee Bluegrass Festival will kick off on August 8, 2025, and run through August 10 in nearby Alta at the resort, and is worth adding to your music-focused lineup this summer. Some of the headliners to look forward to are Joe Craven, Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway, alongside The Wood Brothers, to name a few.

When a little creativity would go a long way toward your summer vacation fun, we highly recommend attending the Jackson Hole Art Fair this August. This year, the Jackson Hole Art Fair is slated to run from August 15 through August 17, and will once again be hosted by the Art Association of Jackson Hole.
