Telluride Mountainfilm kicks off this week with a tradition that embraces the core tenets of the documentary film festival: adventure and the great outdoors. Starting Wednesday night, Town Park will be transformed into an outdoor theater known as Base Camp Theatre.
Winter decided to spit one last storm at us this weekend, dusting Telluride with snow and giving people at the bluegrass festival a chilly reminder about the fickle nature of Rocky Mountain weather. But it’s easy to forgive and forget today.
It was apparently hot enough that August to get the Deadheads to take a break from the Kool-Aid and buy some homemade lemonade. A lot of it.
No matter which way the wind blows, or even if it blows too hard to fly, the Telluride Balloon Fest always gets off the ground with the annual balloon glow held at night on main street.
If summer in Telluride has a soundtrack, it is most certainly bluegrass.
