Tony’s Speakeasy is an annual celebration and fundraiser commemorating the anniversary of making historic Tony’s Conoco the museum’s forever home. Our annual community celebration -historically known as the “Black and White Ball” – is taking a trip back in time. We’re turning the clock back 100 years to bring you Tony’s Speakeasy: A Black and White Affair on July 2, 2024 from 7pm-10pm. Activities include live music, wine pull, blackjack, roulette, poker, pull-tabs, liquor tastings, silent auction, and more.
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!
