Main Street Mixer
The Main Street Mixer is a downtown wine walk designed to celebrate Gunnison’s downtown businesses and invite the community to sip, shop, and browse along Main Street. On Thursday, March 26 from 5-7 pm, attendees can enjoy a relaxed, social evening exploring participating Chamber businesses and experiencing downtown Gunnison in a lively but approachable way. Guests will check in at a central location to receive their wristband and event passport, then stroll Main Street at their own pace. Wine selections from Buckel Winery will be paired with cheese at select stops at participating Chamber businesses, with plenty of time to browse shops, connect with local business owners, and linger downtown. Completed passports can be turned in for door prize drawings. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the event. IDs will be checked at check-in, and wristbands will be provided to ticketed guests. This walkable evening is designed to support local businesses, bring energy downtown, and give the community a reason to gather on Main Street.
