Now in its 40th year, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival is rich in history, both musical and otherwise. We are in the process of compiling an online historical archive of the festival’s past. This is a long-term project, so check back periodically as we continue to make available more historical information – from the 40th Festival coming this June all the way back to the Telluride Fourth of July Celebration in 1973.
