Children are always welcome guests at Telluride’s music festivals, and the little ones enjoy rocking out to the music just as much as their parents. To make the children feel even more special, you’ll find a tent set up for their enjoyment and comfort. Children of all ages are welcome, and those aged 12 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, and a full daily schedule and a sign-up sheet will be posted outside the tent.
Local talented artists will be painting faces in a variety of wonderful designs, and every child is invited to work on arts and crafts. Choices include shirt decorating, jewelry design, hula hoop creation and badge buttons. Each child is also welcome to participate in organized games, and there will be several acts on the tent stage. Amazing magicians will entertain, singers will lead the children in song and an open mic will be available for the children to show off their vocal abilities.
Multiple Vendors
The vendors come out in full force each year, and you’ll have access to plenty of food, drinks, goods and gear. Kid-friendly cuisine, vegan fare, decadent sweets, amazing barbecue and Colorado favorites will all be available to hungry festival participants. You’ll also have the opportunity to purchase some interesting items that include hippie apparel, recycled skateboards, restrung jewelry and unique hats and sunglasses, and you can definitely expect to find some unique, one-of-a-kind buys during the festival.
