Telluride Jazz Festival - August 2-4, 2013

More than a festival, Telluride Jazz Celebration is a musical experience surrounded by beauty and alive with character. The Telluride Jazz Celebration has consistently earned national and international attention for featuring the best in classic, mainstream, blues, African, and Latin jazz music, and this year's Telluride Jazz Festival will be no exception. Celebrating 37 years of musical mastery, extraordinary moments abound when high altitude, great attitudes, and the Rocky Mountains take hold. Come out and join us for a fantastic three day celebration of the history, the art, the soul, and the feeling of jazz music.

This year, we are happy to announce that festival is teaming up with the local Telluride Brewing Company to provide some tasty beers. There will also be a free spirit tasting on Friday (with purchase of Friday or 3-day ticket) and wine tasting on Saturday! On Sunday, passholders will get to experience New Orleans Day. Sunday’s lineup will celebrate the birthplace of it all, that great southern city that was home to the legends gave this African inspired musical style some Cajun soul. Early bird ticket prices end on June 30th, so hurry up and grab them while you can! Check out Festival Lodging for info on where to stay.  “If Telluride ain’t paradise, then heaven can wait”- Dizzy Gillespie
