Fourth of July in CB

Plans for the traditional, large-scale Independence Day Celebration on Elk Avenue have been canceled due to ongoing public safety concerns surrounding large groups of people. Potential smaller scale alternatives are currently under review. Please check back for updated information. Thank you for your understanding.

A traditional non-covid Fourth might look something like this.

Start early in the morning with a ⅓ marathon running race and a pancake breakfast, then a big parade, live music, great food, and fun all day long. Escape the heat and get out on one of our many rivers to raft or fish in the late afternoon. Then head to either the base of Crested Butte Mountain in Mt. Crested Butte or Jorgenson Park in downtown Gunnison for a patriotic fireworks display.

The Town of Mt. Crested Butte is proud to present the 2021 4th of July Firework display in Mt. Crested Butte. This is one of the few times of the year the peak of Mt. CB is lit up – don’t miss it!
