The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival takes place in a renowned outdoor music venue with breathtaking mountain peaks for a backdrop. You should visit Telluride for the views alone but Telluride will not stop there. Yes, Telluride is an acclaimed ski town located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains but what may not be known is that Telluride is a festival hot spot.

The main street which is steps away from the festival grounds is also filled with restaurants, shops, and bars so when the music ends at the festival grounds the scene continues throughout the town. A town with a great ambience and on this 3 day festival amazing live music will accompany it all. Blues, Rock and Roll, funk, indie, and gospel performances will invigorate the soul. The "brews' aspect of the festival introduces Telluride's microbreweries. Along with the foods, crafts, vendors, shows, and much more make this festival one to celebrate. At the heart of the venue is the Fred Shellman Memorial Stage, a small, humble wooden stage that has held the weight of legends over the years.

When B.B. King performed here in 2004, he told the crowd, ""Out of the 90 different countries I've been to, I've never seen anything more beautiful than what you have here. It's not the altitude that'll take your breath away. It's the views."

Experience three unforgettable days at one of the most scenic and intimate music festivals in the world. The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival blends world-class live music with a breathtaking mountain setting, creating an atmosphere unlike any other. Set against towering Rocky Mountain peaks, the outdoor venue alone is reason enough to visit, delivering postcard-worthy views at every turn.

While Telluride is widely known as a premier ski town, it also shines as a vibrant festival destination. During Blues & Brews weekend, the historic mountain town comes alive with sound, culture, and energy. The festival grounds sit just steps from Main Street, where restaurants, shops, and bars keep the celebration going long after the final set ends.

Musically, the festival spans blues, rock and roll, funk, indie, and gospel, offering performances that energize the soul. The “brews” side of the event highlights Telluride’s craft beer scene, alongside food vendors, artisans, and local crafts. At the heart of it all stands the Fred Shellman Memorial Stage, a humble wooden platform that has hosted legendary artists making this three-day celebration one that music lovers return to year after year.
