New Year’s Eve in Crested Butte and Gunnison, Colorado, is a magical celebration of mountain charm, snowy adventures, and vibrant festivities. Imagine the stunning Rocky Mountains blanketed in fresh snow, twinkling lights illuminating the streets, and a buzz of excitement filling the crisp winter air.
Festivities kick off with its iconic torchlight parade down the ski slopes at the resort. Skiers and snowboarders holding flaming torches create a glowing, serpentine trail against the dark mountain backdrop—it’s mesmerizing! Fireworks light up the starry sky shortly after, reflecting off the snow and painting the town in bursts of color.
Then the action moves to the bars, restaurant and event venues in the valley for NYE celebrations. Here’s whats happening 12/31/24 in the valley.
