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.
Did you know local wildflowers can easily be choked out by invasive weeds? Help volunteers and staff at the Land Trust and the Wildflower Festival give our floral friends some breathing room! Don your gloves, grab your water bottle, and join us for an afternoon of community engagement as we strategically remove the invasive weeds and provide a better habitat for the native plants. RSVPs are required at [email protected]. Location TBA.
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!
