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.
Calling all caregivers of little ones, bring yourself and your mini crew over to the museum on Monday May 5th from 10am-11am for a free casual, unstructured play hour with other parents and their tots before regular business hours. Geared towards kids age five and younger, but all are welcome. Be sure to bring quarters for the train! These events are free to attend but donations are appreciated as they help us continue to provide programming like Monday Mornings at the Museum. https://crestedbuttemuseum.com/mondays-at-the-museum/
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!
