Join Zuni West for the 3rd Annual Crested Butte Oktoberfest, hosted for the first year at our brand new location in CB South! Featuring Clay Street Unit, a stellar 6 piece based out of Denver, CO, rooted deep in homegrown southern Country/Folk and branching into the bluegrass sound that’s heard throughout the Appalachian hills. Featuring live music all day, an authentic Oktoberfest menu from Alpenchef and our legendary stein holding competition, Oktoberfest at Zuni West is not to be missed! Dirndl and lederhosen encouraged!
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
