Summer at I Bar Ranch is bigger than concerts. Itâs jobs, weddings, tourism, local gathering, late nights under the stars, and bringing live music to the Gunnison Valley all season long.
With 12 concerts and 13 weddings on the calendar this summer, weâre proud to continue creating experiences that support our local economy and keep this valley vibrant.
But bringing national touring artists to a small mountain town doesnât happen alone. Our local and regional business sponsors help make these nights possible â from the stage lights to the sound, staffing, and everything in between.
If your business believes in community, live music, and keeping the magic of summer alive in the Gunnison Valley, weâd love to partner with you.
Interested in becoming a sponsor for the 2026 concert season? Reach out to Katie Lewinger at [email protected].
We canât wait to spend another summer with you all out at the Ranch.
If you were there last time, you know.
