Did you know there are many events in Crested Butte and Gunnison? See live music, take an art class, volunteer, play trivia, watch (or participate in) a ski or bike race, and more! Check this calendar to see what’s going on.
Be sure to wear some green, because Firebird Theatre’s Improv Troupe is bringing a pot ‘o gold of laughs to the Almont Resort this Sunday, March 17th! Come see a (loosely) Irish-themed show where you, the audience, supply the suggestions, and we supply the crazy characters and action. Seats fill up fast, so don’t miss out on your chance to see our improvisers send up and ring in the holiday in their unique side-splitting style! They’re magically hilarious! The production is suitable for ages 18 and up. Doors will open at 6:30pm and the show will begin promptly at 7:00pm. Tickets are priced at $10 per person at the door or in advance at www.firebirdcb.com/improv/! Feel free to take the bus so you can enjoy a proper pint at the Lodge with your entertainment! We hope to see you there!
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!
