September in Crested Butte

September is here, bringing crisp fall air and a lot of exciting events. See below for more information about the Mt. Crested Butte Chili & Beer Festival for spicy chilis and craft beers, or the Crested Butte Film Festival showcasing incredible films. September is my favorite month to be in Crested Butte, with the real star of the show being the stunning fall foliage. The last two weeks of September are especially breathtaking, with the valley bathed in vibrant autumn colors. For the best spots to catch this spectacular show, tap here!
