The 8th Annual Starry Evening Gala presented by Margery Feldberg and Jeremy Levin will be held at Big Mine Ice Arena on Saturday, July 11, 2026. We are currently SOLD OUT! This year, we will honor Blake Hawk for his generosity and commitment to protecting the beauty of the Gunnison Valley.
Starry Evening is an opportunity to gather with friends, new and old, to celebrate the beloved places that make Crested Butte so special. From Red Lady to Lower Loop, Long Lake to the Rec Path, the lands we enjoy year-round are protected and cared for through the efforts of this one spectacular evening.
Please contact register@cblandtrust.org for inquiries or to join the waitlist.

Can’t make it but want to show your support for the event?
Underwriters make this event an even greater success! It’s thanks to these folks that we could direct all proceeds from the gala to conserving and caring for our beloved trails, wildlife habitats, ranch lands, and waterways.
