Join the Trailhead Children’s Museum on August 2nd, 2025 for our 3rd Annual BIG SUMMER BASH! An outdoor, family friendly music festival, featuring Latin GRAMMY Award winning artist MISTER G. In this dynamic, interactive concert, you can look forward to a bilingual performance celebrating community, creativity and the beauty of the natural world. Come ready to sing and dance! 

Your ticket to the BIG SUMMER BASH will include live music, face painting, and larger than life art and play experiences. The first 75 tickets sold will get a FREE copy of MISTER G’s original book Señorita Mariposa!

PLUS In 2025 the Bash is even bigger and better - we are adding a second day! Join us on August 1st for an Instrument Making Workshop with Colorado band The Mojo Birds. Create your own instrument, design and decorate, and learn a new song to share onstage at the Bash on August 2nd! 

Bring the whole family with our discounted family ticket packs, and come celebrate summer with the Trailhead! Family Ticket Packs will ONLY be available online and prices will increase at the door. Get your family pack today and save! 

The BIG SUMMER BASH will benefit the Trailhead Children’s Museum, and allow us to continue providing critical development and learning opportunities through art and play to all of the local and visiting families in the Gunnison Valley. Please consider adding an additional contribution to your ticket, and help us protect PLAY FOR ALL!
