North Mississippi Allstars, Music on the Mountain
The Music on the Mountain series returns! North Mississippi Allstars will take the stage on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. Join us at the Red Lady Stage in the Crested Butte Mountain Resort Base Area for free live music. FIG will open at 5:30 pm. All live series openers are provided in partnership with the Gunnison Valley Music Association. Food and beverages will be served during the event. Grab your camp chairs and blankets and make plans to join us on the lawn! Nothing runs deeper than family ties. Brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters understand one another at the purest level. When families rally around music, they speak this oft-unspoken bond aloud and into existence. After 25 years, twelve albums, four GRAMMY Award nominations, and sold-out shows everywhere, North Mississippi Allstars open up their world once again on their thirteenth album, Set Sail [New West Records], welcoming other family (by blood and by the road) into the fold.
Annual events in Crested Butte and Gunnison
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!
