Thank you to all the fans for making the last 30 years of Telluride Blues & Brews Festival so special.

After a breathtaking and magical weekend celebrating 30 years at Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, it has come to our attention that Lyte, the company that the festival had enlisted for an after-market ticket exchange, has shut down suddenly leaving many events and their attendees without any information, including ours. These actions from Lyte are shocking and unacceptable and we are working diligently with all of our resources and industry partners to arrive at a resolution for those who used the platform to resell their tickets. As a proud independent festival, our number one priority is our fans. This has the highest level of priority and we are working around the clock to find the best solution possible. We will share all updates as soon as they become available. For any questions in the meantime, please contact us directly by using the form below. We will provide updates as information becomes available.
It's time to plan ahead to have the experience of a lifetime. Of course, like any festival, there's a Main Stage, but it goes way beyond that. There are free yoga sessions, group hikes and bike rides, a 5k fundraiser race, an astonishing array of beer styles to sample, delectable food options, family activities and so much more. Use this guide to navigate the festival weekend and make lasting memories.
The House Of Brews (HOB) Bar returns this year with local, regional and national breweries showcasing their best suds. Located adjacent to the merch tent and main entrance, the HOB gives attendees a chance to enjoy a wide selection of beers while catching all of the action on the Main Stage. The HOB features a rotating list of styles from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and other breweries throughout the festival, with more than 10 styles available for purchase each day.

Over the past few years, the Telluride Blues Challenge has risen to become one of the most distinguished music competitions in the Southwest!

Congratulations to 2024 finalists Columbia Jones, Fatih Kesimal, Jackson Magyar, Rude Boy Jaramillo, Shelby Kemp and Tom Andes.

Returning for his third year (2003, 2013, 2024) as the painting artist, Roger Masons present the latest installment for Telluride Blues & Brews Festival. He created the artwork for the 10th, 20th and now the 30th annual posters. If you don’t know the name Roger Mason, you should. You can spot him a mile away, he’s the guy on Telluride's Main Street from time to time standing next to an easel, brandishing brushes, resembling a dressed up Jackson Pollock, with spattered paint all over his denim overalls.
