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.
This summer the Town of Crested Butte is hosting 4 block parties to connect with the community and solicit feedback on ongoing planning efforts including traffic calming and parking. Grab a snack from the Vegan AF food truck, enjoy music by Rachel VanSlyke, kid’s crafts, and games hosted by the Trailhead Children’s Museum, face painting, a bouncy house, and lots of input opportunities on ongoing Town planning efforts
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!
