Join us for a 1920Õs themed murder mystery with the Crested Butte Mountain Theatre! The scene: It is the 1920s and you are a member of the notorious Tracy Gang. It has been one year since your last gang meeting and you are very keen to brag about your swindles and heists. The thing with gangsters is they love to trick each other as much as an unwitting victim! Soon there are some pretty angry people with a grudge to bare! ÒTravis DeeÓ a new member of the Tracy Gang is found dead! Shot on the first floor balcony. Many gang members had a score to settle but only one is the true murderer! Whodunit? Your guests will be given the job of working that out. Decipher the suicide note, discover the Shakespearian letter swindle and unravel the mystery of who killed Travis Dee! Would you make a good gangster? Guests encouraged to come dressed as a gangster, cabaret dancer, godfather, flapper, pimp, F.B.I, scarface, hit man or any other 1920s style character. Snacks provided. Cash bar open throughout event.
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!
