Fika with Bjarne

May 29 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$20
Gunnison Sunset

Join filmmaker Bjarne Salen for a special evening screening of three unreleased episodes from his new series Fika With Bjarne. Filmed in a raw, cinematic style, the series follows Bjarne as he steps into the everyday lives of athletes and public figures, leading to intimate conversations over a traditional Swedish “fika”: a simple coffee break centered around slowing down and connecting. It’s a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the real people, honest, personal and not yet seen anywhere. The evening will include a giveaway to raise money for CB State of Mind, with great prizes for a great cause. Presented in partnership with Bjarne Salen and Crested Butte Film Festival.

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!
