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.
Nostalgia provides us with a thread of connection ~ a place for our collective memories to overlap ~ and what better place to indulge in the depths of summer than Crested Butte! Leaning into this year’s CB Wine + Food Festival theme of “Summer Nostalgia”, we will be throwing caution to the wind as we celebrate summer with our first Summer Dance Party amidst the alpenglow cast on Mt. Crested Butte. This dinner celebrates the taste of summer warmth through a journey of tapas prepared by Chef Pat Manning served alongside Spanish wines poured by Tre Gerbitz. Join us to wine, dine and dance the night away to the Jacob Larsen Band.
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!
