Stick around for the post event celebration–featuring music, food, drinks, and prizes! Attracting hundreds of locals and spectators, Bridges of the Butte celebrates Crested Butte with a rolling parade of creativity, from bikes decked out like dinosaurs to cowboys and unicorns.
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!
