A variety of food vendors and craft vendors will also fill the festival grounds and there will even be activities for children.

The Telluride Blues and Brews Festival is really trying to focus on recycling this year. There will be plenty of trashcans and recycling bins to push guests to not trash the area. They hope to keep the scene clean and green.

The former mining town might be best known for its ski resorts, but the beautiful town also brings in a number of festivals each year. The weather in Colorado this time of year is perfect for an outdoor event full of music and beers.
