Telluride Jazz Festival- Since
1977 Telluride’s majestic perch - high in the spectacular San Juan
Mountains in Southwestern Colorado -- has been the site of an annual
cultural event produced by the Telluride Society for Jazz combining
the finest of nature and art that ranks among the world’s most
memorable music festivals. The intimate format and abundant
opportunities to enjoy spectacular alpine recreational activities
complement the superb music presented each year at the Telluride
Jazz Celebration (TJC). Combining performances on outdoor stages
during the day with theater and club shows at night, the TJC offers
the best of both worlds and with its new dates in June, it has
become even more festive as it coincides with the 25th annual
edition of the colorful Telluride Balloon Rally. This
event is in fact, a "Celebration" of the art, soul, history, and
future of an all-American art form. We take immense pride in
honoring jazz music's finest artists, and strive to nurture the new
voices of today.

Welcome to Telluride & Mountain Village,
Colorado
Telluride, Colorado Our mining (festivals) town is wedged in
a picturesque glacial canyon at the base of the dramatic San
Juan Mountains. Once a remote mining area, today Telluride has
become a destination (and home) for artists, skiers,
celebrities, second homeowners, hippies, and just about any other
human type you could imagine. But that’s what makes it so
special. A restored Victorian main street is delightful for
shopping, lunching, and people-watching; you can sign up for a
walking tour at Historic Tours of Telluride, or guide yourself with
a map available from the visitor’s center. Make sure you include a
visit to the
1895 New Sheridan Hotel, which in its refurbished state,
accepts overnight guests. The Telluride Historical Museum is
also a good resource for a quick history lesson on mining to
the ski boom trivia.
Skiers and snowboarders dreaming of a
ski vacation can turn dreams into reality with lodges like the
Mountain
Lodge in Mountain Village,
Resort
Quest Telluride, the
Mountainside Inn and the historic
New
Sheridan hotel.
