the festival capital of the rockies

It’s been said, maybe once or twice, that Telluride is a town that knows how to throw a party.  Following the lull of off-season, which officially begins when the lifts close in early April, the community ramps up for the summer-long weekend festivals, which can temporarily double, triple, and quadruple the number of people recreating in the box canyon.  The Telluride Mountainfilm Festival opens the summer on Memorial Day weekend and the Blues & Brews Festival winds it down with one last hurrah in September.  In between, is a list of festivals that have grown so prized they can be ticked off by only a word:  Bluegrass, Wine, Jazz, Mushroom, Chamber, and Film.  Telluride’s summer calendar is so packed that long ago a sacred mid-summer weekend was set aside for the official Nothing Festival.  Everyone is advised to do, well, nothing.
