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.

Join us if you dare for the Gunnison Arts Center’s Un-Dead Ball – a frightfully fun Halloween night where the dance floor comes alive! This ghoulish gathering will feature a spooktacular local DJ spinning eerie beats, a full bar serving up creepy craft cocktails, and the crowning of our very own Un-Dead Royalty. Come in your best Un-Dead costumes, but any and all costumes are welcome! Wander into our haunted courtyard-turned-graveyard, where you’ll find classic Halloween games like apple bobbing and other bone-chilling surprises. Throw on your best costume and dance the night away – it’s your last chance for a scream-worthy celebration!

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!
