The Telluride Jazz Festival is just around the corner, and it truly wouldn't be the same without our returning crew.

We’ve got a massive weekend lined up for 2026. We're talking a Colorado-exclusive "Powered Down" set from The Disco Biscuits, an incredible Miles Davis 100th Birthday Celebration from Lettuce, Don Was, Theo Croker, Endea Owens, and so much more. You won't want to miss a single beat when you're off-shift.

This Event Helps Support Youth Arts
Weehawken Creative Arts is the coordinator and host of the Ridgway Rendezvous. The Rendezvous event helps fund youth programs and scholarships for the non-profit 501c3 organization. Each year, Weehawken offers hundreds of programs for youth and adults in Ouray County, & Montrose County.

Our event hosts a beer, wine, margarita and bloody mary tent near the entertainment stage on both days. There are also ample food and drink vendors on-site. You'll enjoy everything from crepes to tacos to sno-cones. Further, the festival is just steps away from some of the best restaurants in Western Colorado! From farm to table, to gourmet tacos, to the best breakfast you've ever had, to Thai, our little town has a surprising plethora of culinary fare!

Deliver gently used, clean, new coats of all sizes during business hours to GMAEC, Bank of Colorado, or Eckert Presbyterian Church. Distribution Nov. 12th-14th.
