Chili and Beer officially kicks off the fall season in Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley. Join us for the 24th annual Chili and Beer Festival Saturday, September 10th, 2022. With locally made chili, tasty craft beer, and live music, Chili and Beer is a great tradition.

 

The 24th Annual Mt. Crested Butte Chili & Beer Festival is a celebration of locally made Chili and Colorado brewed beer that draws both locals and visitors to the base area for a music, chili, and beer filled afternoon. The event is planned for September 10, 2022 and will be located at the Base Area of Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Locals are welcome to enter chili into the competition along with participating restaurants. We ask brewers from all over Colorado to join us. Participants will be asked to vote on their favorite Beer and Chili. We expect this event to sell out this year as it has in years past. We will have up to 12 categories, each receiving a cash prize based on participant votes.
