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.
Celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the best bad movie ever – The Room! THE ROOM centers on Johnny (writer/director Tommy Wiseau), a man who has it all; great friends, a good job, and a gorgeous fiance named Lisa. But Lisa’s innocent act masks the fact that she’s looking to bring Johnny down, and her manipulations are tearing Johnny apart. As Lisa informs her cancer-ridden mother, Claudette, that Johnny hit her (and he did not hit her, that is bull$h*t, he did not!), Johnny’s best friend, Mark, finds his resistance to Lisa’s seductive charms weakening. Meanwhile, local orphan Denny looks up to Johnny, and needs the older man’s help after the teen rips off a drug dealer. What kind of drugs… it doesn’t matter. Then guys play football in tuxedos, because you can play football anywhere. This movie is seriously not to be missed!
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!
