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.
Picture this: a group of brave souls gathered in the cozy cabaret theatre, surrounded by the majestic mountains of CB, where the snow is melting faster than the punchlines. The air is crisp, the jokes are crisper, and the only thing blooming faster than the wildflowers is the hilarity on stage. Our very own, Subject2Change dives into absurd scenarios as one-liners fly faster than a squirrel on caffeine. By the end of the night, everyone will with sore cheeks, questionable memories, and a newfound appreciation for the art of making stuff up-because in the mountains, the only thing more unpredictable than the weather is the comedy!
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!
