Telluride Bluegrass Festival

With 30 years under our belt (and yours) we are more enthusiastic than ever about the future of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. In a time when our country, indeed our world needs the unifying force of music to step in and clarify, we at Planet Bluegrass are working once again to make that a reality you can depend on. The 31st annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival, on the weekend of the summer solstice, will be worth the cold, dark months of winter. Without disclosing details, we can safely promise four days of outstanding music, inspiring friendships and astonishing scenery. For those of you who missed the festival this summer, and for those new to Planet Bluegrass, we hope you will stay posted to this site and spread the word. Book Hotel Here

Telluride Jazz Festival  Since 1977 Telluride’s majestic perch - high in the spectacular San Juan mountain range in southwest Colorado - has been the site of a musical odyssey combining the finest of nature and art. Each year the Telluride Jazz Society produces one of the most memorable festivals in the country if not the world. Its intimate format and opportunities for pleasure beyond the superb music - hiking, mountain jeep tours, visits to mining ghost towns, biking and more - bring an audience of up to 3,000 per day to this historic, one-of-a-kind Victorian town seen by most Americans only in TV commercials and snowboard ads. Combining both outdoor stages during the day with theater and club shows running all night long, this festival is not to be missed. The Telluride Jazz Celebration is the perfect family getaway.

Independent Film Fest While the Telluride Film Festival is the best of its kind in the world, it is *not* an independent film festival. As well - it requires 'premieres' of selected films. Telluride IndieFest showcases the best *independent* films and screenplays in the world and does not require films to 'premiere' at its event.  What This Means to the *Independent* Artist: There will be an even *larger* audience - and more Hollywood 'industry professionals' present.  Telluride IndieFest:  Dedicated to the spirit and advancement of independent filmmaking and screenwriting worldwide!

Telluride Film Festival Each Labor Day weekend, the tiny mountain village of Telluride, Colorado
triples in size.

Yet the Telluride family trusts that a unique experience will unfold. Book Hotel Here

The Telluride Film Festival is not just a picture show. It is tributes to luminaries who’ve pushed the medium forward; it is discussions with a film’s creator or the historian who champions it; it is running into filmmaker guests and sharing your thoughts; it is engaging in lively debate with a fellow passholder on the street or in line. Our audiences were the first in the world to partake of MY DINNER WITH ANDRE, to visit TWIN PEAKS, to witness THE CIVIL WAR and to learn the secret of THE CRYING GAME. We resurrected the silent epic NAPOLEON, and highlighted the genius of animator Chuck Jones. Book Hotel Here

We take great pains to remain not a competition, but a celebration of the best in film -- past, present and future -- from all around the world. One weekend immersed in an unabashed carnival of film: viewing, breathing, eating, and talking cinema. Or, as we like to call it: The Show. Book Hotel Here
