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.
High Country Conservation Advocates and the Crested Butte Museum invite you to attend their “Red Lady Reveal” party. A brand-new exhibit depicting the 47-year battle to Save Red Lady is now a prominent feature in the museum’s exhibit room. On January 10, from 5-7 pm, memorabilia, refreshments and friendly faces will be there to celebrate this new exhibit with you. This exhibit is a joint effort by HCCA and Museum staff. All are welcome to come visualize a half-century of important moments in the valley’s history.
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!
