What could be better than opera and chocolate? Local favorite Elizabeth Bond returns to the Crested Butte with a delectable selection of tasty tunes in this dazzling, one-night-only production. Act One is a cabaret-style buffet of delicious ditties; in Act Two, Victoria Hansen stars as Julia Child, taking center stage following to deliver operatic instruction on how to prepare her famous Chocolate Gâteau. Guests will enjoy a slice of cake at the end of the production as the melodies and memories of France carry them home.
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
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!
