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.
Help us kick off the summer 2024 Music Cruise Season on June 18! Sunny Downpour will start playing at the Jorgensen Ice Rink at 5:30 and end with a 30 minute set at Char Mar Park from 7-7:30. Follow the band on your bike, watch from your front yard as they cruise by, or join us at Char Mar Park to finish with a picnic. We can’t wait to see you for this fun and utterly Gunnison summer tradition. This first cruise of the season is brought to you by Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley.
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!
