Did you know there are many events in Crested Butte and Gunnison? See live music, take an art class, volunteer, play trivia, watch (or participate in) a ski or bike race, and more! Check this calendar to see what’s going on.
The 18th annual Bridge of Butte brings our ASC community together, across the nation, with two weeks of bike challenges to push your limits, have some fun, and raise money. On the last day, we'll celebrate in Crested Butte with a Townie Tour that weaves through town over all our many bridges, ending at our basecamp on Elk Avenue where we'll hand out prizes and enjoy food and entertainment.
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!
