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.
Join us for great food, live music, children’s activities, and more. Competition judging punch cards and competing free bites will be first-come-first-serve and are limited-we recommend arriving early if you want to be a judge! There will be seven competing trucks this year: Southern Belle (2023 Champion), Vegan AF Box, From the Flames, Kitchen on the Go, SoCo BBQ, Dapper Doughnuts, and Brown Gringos Tacos!! Bands announcements coming soon!
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!
