Jim Davidson hosts Open Mic Night at the Bon Ton Bistro inside the Pitkin Hotel. If you have never had the food at the Bon Ton, the food alone is worth the trip to Pitkin. Pam and Bob Taylor have done a fabulous job renovating the Pitkin Hotel and the quality of this work is on full view in the Bon Ton Bistro. So, come on out to the Pitkin Hotel and enjoy great food and drink and support live music from amateur and professional open mic performers. See you there!!
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!
