The Almont Pavillion Dance series takes place every Wednesday night through the summer with free dance lessons from 6-7pm and live music for dancing from 7:30-9pm. The Pavillion is the historic dance hall built in 1921 on the property of 3 rivers resort. The venue is an easy walk from the RTA and is free to the public. The event is for all ages and is a substance-free environment! Thanks to the sponsorship of GRASP and Gunnison Valley Music Association along with other private sponsors, the first summer has been a great success. Join the fun for the last 3 weeks featuring: Evelyn Roper Band on July 24 Matt Lackey and Lizzy Plotkin for a Square Dance on July 31 Jordan Brandenburg Band on August 7
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!
