2025 Mt. CB Chili & Beer Festival

September 6 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Tickets & Info

 

Kick off your fall season the right way at the Annual Mt. Crested Butte Chili and Beer Festival held at the base of the Crested Butte Mountain Resort.  Sample locally made chilis, sip some of Colorado’s finest craft beer, and enjoy some great tunes from Grammy winning artist Bronwyn Keith Hynes, plus opening act by Pickpockets. 

The 27th 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 located at the Base Area of Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Locals are welcome to enter chili into the competition along with participating restaurants. 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.

TIPS

Drink water! A glass of water between every beer is a great way to stay happy, hydrated, and much less hungover.

Eat before you come or eat a few cups of chili before you start drinking. If you drink before you eat, you’re gonna have a bad time.

Be aware of your drinking limits. Please don’t have to make your friends carry you home. Drink responsibly.
