Get ready to groove, because the ultimate celebration is here! We’re bidding farewell to the winter season in the most legendary way possible with Deadhead Ed’s End of Season Party with Easy Jim! All proceeds benefit the Crested Butte Community School Enrichment Program! The CBCS Enrichment Program seeks to broaden our students’ experience by providing them with a variety of artistic, cultural and educational opportunities which expand upon the traditional academic program. The Enrichment Program organizes and funds artist-in-residence programs, workshops, performances and after-school clubs. These activities are open and free to all students. The Enrichment Program is a non-profit organization which depends entirely upon support from donations and community grants.
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!
