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 the Gunnison Arts Center for our Spring fundraising event, the Time Travel Dance Party Fundraiser & Raffle! There will be dancing, raffle prizes, costumes, cocktails, live music, complimentary food from Burnell’s, and more – all while raising critical funds for the Gunnison Arts Center! Our theme for this year’s fundraiser is all about time travel, so attendees are encouraged to wear a costume – be it a 70’s disco star or a futuristic character from outer space! There will be a costume contest, so come dressed to impress!
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!
