About


Formed in 1977 the Telluride Jazz Celebration (TJC) - set against the majestic San Juan Mountains in Southwestern Colorado - is an annual cultural event produced by the Telluride Society for Jazz combining the best of nature and music.

TJC is ranked among the world’s most memorable music festivals. The intimate and exclusive format and abundant opportunities to enjoy spectacular outdoor activities, complement the exciting music presented each year.

Event performances take place on outdoor stages during the day with theater and club shows at night. For the first time in the history of TJC, the celebration has moved to new dates in June and coincides with the 25th annual Telluride Balloon Rally, a colorful and fun filled event.

Looking ahead to the years to come, TJC is poised to expand in the coming seasons. The new dates accommodate better weather and allow guests to take full advantage of outdoor camping and activities. As well as, a strong group of organizers who are reaching out to the next generation of musicians while working to maintain tradition.

This is an exciting for the Telluride Jazz Celebration and music fans alike. The beauty of Telluride and the surrounding region is an experience of a lifetime. There is an opportunity for everyone to participate and own a piece of the celebration and we look forward to seeing you in June.
