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.

As part of our extended programming from the Crested Butte Wine + Food Festival, we’re bringing a special edition of Cookbook Club to the table! Join us for an intimate chef-prepared dinner prepared by BruHaus chefs and inspired by Bitter & Sweet in collaboration with author Omid Roustaei. This beautifully crafted meal will explore the rich flavors and traditions of Persian cuisine, celebrating the stories and culture woven into every dish. Instead of a potluck, sit back and savor a thoughtfully curated menu while engaging in conversation about the inspiration behind the book. It’s an evening of food, storytelling, and connection you won’t want to miss!
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!
