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.
Get creative and give back by joining Kit Wijkowski in crafting bowls for our Souper Bowl fundraiser! In this fun and engaging workshop, you’ll learn to handbuild and/or wheel throw your very own bowls. Keep all the bowls you create except for one, which will be featured in our fundraiser and available for purchase to support a great cause. This is your chance to have your artwork showcased while making a meaningful contribution to the community. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced ceramicist, all skill levels are welcome to participate in this inspiring and rewarding experience!
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!
