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.
Gunnison Valley Animal Welfare League (GVAWL) will be hosting their annual Yard Sale on Friday, July 18th and Saturday, July 19th from 8am until 3pm each day at 508 N. 7th St. in Gunnison. This event is HUGE and you do not want to miss it. Most items will be by donation although some will be priced. All proceeds from this event go to GVAWL. If you would like to donate new or lightly used items to the yard sale, please send a text to (970)238-0252 to arrange a time to drop off the items. Please do not leave anything at the shelter as we do not have storage space at that location. We are currently not accepting bedding, furniture, or electronics without prior approval. We politely ask that you not block any driveways when attending the event and that we not have any early birds. We look forward to seeing you there! We have so much fun with this event.
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!
