Enjoy Exclusive Access

Join us in a journey of preservation, education, and celebration of wildflowers. 

Membership

Your membership fuels conservation, education, early access to events, and memorable wildflower experiences in the Wildflower Capital of Colorado.

As a nonprofit organization, we owe much of our success to our Members! Your Membership allows us to continuously improve the Festival experience. This includes, but is not limited to, offering new and exciting events each Festival, implementing preservation campaigns that allow us to further our mission, and even improving our online systems. None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our Members. We thank each and every Member for their support. We cannot exist without YOU – the reason we’ve been able to host the Wildflower Festival since 1986!

Now! Our Memberships become available following each Festival and remain open through that year’s Festival. You may purchase a Membership anytime between then, even during the Festival. Most folks like to purchase Memberships before registration begins to take advantage of the early registration benefits Members at all levels receive.

Our Members Only Events will be listed in the 2027 Program Guide, published in February right here on our website on February 14, 2027.

 

Members will receive an email with special instructions at 10am MTN on the day their Membership level’s registration wave opens.

Our 2027 Program Guide will provide descriptions on this year’s Members Only Events. Members will be emailed directly by Festival staff to RSVP to these events at the same time as their early registration access begins.

We will send out official RSVPs for our Member and Sponsor Appreciation Party during the early summer via email.

Yes, two people can share a Membership.

Membership with the Wildflower Festival at any level will allow for the Membership holder and their participants to register early for events, so long as the Member and the participants are both attending the same events that are being registered early for.  If you have others in your party that would like to register early for events separately than the ones the Member is attending, they can wait until general registration opens to register for those events or they can purchase a Membership for themselves and secure their spots early.

Memberships with the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival do not rollover year to year. This allows more flexibility for our Members to select the Membership packages that works best for their needs and interests each year.

We’re excited to continue offering our beautiful posters as a membership benefit. Posters can be picked up at Festival Headquarters (716 Elk Ave) during the Festival (July 9–18, 2027). Lupine and Columbine Members may request delivery after the Festival for a small shipping fee ($14), while Scarlet Gilia Members and above receive complimentary mailing. Thank you for your support!
