Crested Butte Wildflower Office

The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival began in 1986 through the efforts of a few insightful Crested Butte locals who envisioned a wildflower celebration in one of the most picturesque valleys in Colorado. The Festival has grown into a week-long celebration with nearly 200 classes offered by over 40 instructors.
