Join us for this highly anticipated, not-to-miss West African Arts theater production that blends storytelling through music, dance, acrobatics, and more! World renown artist and choreographer, Fara Tolno, brings his magic to a show that will transport, inspire and mesmerize audiences of all ages. Multiple West African artists will be joined by local musicians and dancers for a unique and dynamic production that explores the story of the earth, the elements, and the human connection portrayed in a stunning visual display of musicality, movement, media, and song making it a show like no other!
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!
