Community Calendar

The magic of a Festival in Telluride Town Park is calling. We are gearing up for the 32nd Annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, returning to the stage this September 18–20, 2026 — and we want you to be a part of the team that makes it all happen.

Volunteering is one of the best ways to experience the festival. It’s an opportunity to give back, connect with fellow music and beer lovers, and get a behind-the-scenes look at one of Telluride’s most iconic events. In exchange for your time and hard work, you'll earn entry to the festival, an exclusive volunteer staff t-shirt, and memories to last a lifetime.

Our lineup this year is absolutely mind-blowing, featuring performances from:
• Jon Batiste
• Taj Mahal & Keb’ Mo’
• Marcus King Band
• Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country
• ...and many more!

Join the community every Saturday for open craft studio and snacks. Bring your own craft supplies or use what we have. Bring food to share or share food with others. FREE event but we do accept donations or tips.

This Ecstatic-style dance is a self-guided dance practice in a facilitated space with no speaking during the music. It does not have to look like dance, nor does it have to be "ecstatic." Come as you are.

Arrive at 1 PM to warm up, stretch, and gently settle in. Opening circle starts 10-15 minutes in, and we will gather for a closing circle after about an hour of eclectic recorded music.

All humans are welcome! Age 12 and under please bring an adult with you. We do not have childcare at this time, so adults please be responsible for your little ones.
Please bring water!

Writing as Remedy workshops at Wellspring Vitality invite you into a supportive, creative space where storytelling becomes a tool for healing, reflection, and connection. Through friendly prompts and shared presence, we use words to process what’s been held, honor lived experience, and remember that we don’t heal alone. No writing experience needed, just a willingness to show up and explore.

Come out and have some Open Mic Night fun! Every Monday in Hotchkiss at the Memorial Hall! Sign up begins at 5:30 and the music starts at 6! Come show off your talent(s) or support your friends and neighbors!! Hope to see you there! Free, free, free!!
