Get Ready to Alpenglow!

The first free Alpenglow concert of the summer kicks off on Monday, June 24 at5:30pm at the Center for the Arts Outdoor Stage with Urban Island Steel Band based out of Denver, Colorado.

Urban Island Steel Band will make you feel like you’re right there in the Caribbean, with the warm sun and the sand in your toes. You’ll hear some original tunes as well as some unexpected hits. You’ve probably never heard “King of Pain” by the Police played on steel drums, but you’ll love it!

Watch this video clip to get a feel for the band….

Alpenglow concerts are free and open to the public. They are a very popular event for both locals and visitors, so be sure to join us every Monday night through August 12.

What to Know Before You ‘Glow (a note from the Crested Butte Center for the Arts)

We love Alpenglow! The sun, the mountain, music in the air, family and friends gathering and hanging out, catching up. For some, it’s their favorite social outlet. There are a few rules and regulations we must follow to continue bringing the concert series to you and we ask that you read this and respect the policies.

NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL
The Center for the Arts sells beer, wine and alcohol under a special events license with the Town of Crested Butte. As such, no outdoor alcohol is allowed at the event. Please respect this policy and refrain from bringing your own alchoholic beverage. Support the Center by purchasing your libations through each event’s beer sponsor or the Center’s bar.

NO PETS
Since dogs are not allowed in Town Park, your pooches are likewise not allowed to experience Alpenglow. Please leave your pets at home.

NO GLASS
Glass is not allowed in Town Park. Please bring beverages in cans or plastic containers.

DO NOT EMPTY YOUR ICE CHEST
Although our current heat wave and lack of moisture might not make this policy seem logical, please respect Town’s regulation to not empty your ice chest on the park lawn. The ice and chilled water can freeze and kill the grass.
