Happy Independence Day from Crested Butte
Two Days of Celebration This Year!
Crested Butte’s legendary Fourth of July weekend is upon us. A big parade, an afternoon patriotic performance, a pancake breakfast, and two fireworks displays are on tap. This year’s festivities start with a July 3rd (Sunday) fireworks show in the town of Crested Butte. On the 4th (Monday), many events are scheduled including the Gothic Run, Walk or Crawl Marathon, benefiting the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic Colorado.
Afterwards, the Crested Butte Fire Protection District feeds the community with their Annual Pancake Breakfast and then Town of Crested Butte sidewalks and rooftops will fill up with literally thousands of people for our 4th of July parade down Elk Avenue. As always, food, entertainment, games and a good ol’ fashion water fight round out the downtown celebrations.
Additionally, Mt. Crested Butte’s Adventure Park will remain open until 8:00 p.m. offering up family fun on their big rock climbing tower, bungee trampolines, disc golf course, 18 holes of miniature golf, and the new Zip Line Tour. To complete the holiday celebrations, Orgone, a Los Angeles funk band, will perform on the Red Lady Stage at the ski resort’s base area with the second fireworks show of the weekend set to pop during the music show’s intermission!
