With the San Juan Mountains as backdrop, the music and cultural festival remains intimate and interactive, offering a breadth of experiences. Besides Grammy-award winners, cutting-edge innovators and memorable super groups, the event also showcases emerging national and local talent on the jazz and music scenes.
Fans can get up close and personal with their favorite musicians with interactive artist performances on the small Society Stage in Telluride’s Elks Park. Expect the unexpected at nighttime performances scheduled at venues around town, or march in a Second Line parade complete with a New Orleans brass band, floats, costumes and throws.
Be sure to catch student bands supported by The Telluride Society for Jazz, or participate in an outdoor yoga class surrounded by nature. Plenty of local eats and brews will be available as well along with opportunities to explore one of the most beautiful areas in the country. Mountain bike, hike or relax to your heart’s content.
