Dress to impress and prepare to dance the night away to the hottest beats spun by DJ Triple L! Families with kids can kick off the excitement with our ALL AGES party from 6pm to 8pm. (And then, parents, it’s your time to shine at the 21-and-over party from 8:30pm to 12am.)
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!
