Let’s gather at the wildflower capital of Colorado during the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival for festival activities, wildflower hikes, raft-n-dine, exploring Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, and more! Limited spots available, so sign up quickly and register early for festival events. 

The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival is an annual 10-day festival offering over 200 workshops in wildflower expertise each July – painting, pollination, photography, culinary arts, and guided hikes. Festival events sell out well before July, so register well in advance.
