Telluride Jazz Festival Tickets

Telluride Jazz Festival, proudly known as "America's Destination Jazz Festival," has anchored Telluride, Colorado as a premier jazz destination since its beginnings in 1977. Produced by the Telluride Society for Jazz (founded March 11, 1991) in partnership with SBG Productions, the festival combines panoramic mountain scenery with intimate performances across Telluride Town Park and a network of indoor venues around town. Whether you’re a longtime jazz aficionado or a first-time attendee, you’ll find a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere and a program that spans classic standards to bold, contemporary flavors.

Plan ahead for 2025: the festival runs August 8–10, featuring headline acts like Kamasi Washington, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Cimafunk, Kokoroko, Parlor Greens, Brass Queens, and more. Jazz After Dark rounds out the experience with after-hours performances Friday through Sunday at Sheridan Opera House, The Moon at O’Bannon’s, and The Alibi, ensuring you’ve got options from daybreak to late night.
