FirstGrass Concert

For eight years, Yonder Mountain String Band has officially "kicked-off" Telluride Bluegrass with their Wednesday night show at the Telluride Conference Center. Last year we decided that kick-off needed a kick-off of its own - and Sunset Plaza in Mountain Village seemed like the perfectly inspiring location to host two of our favorite progressive acoustic bands for a free outdoor show.
No word yet on plans for a 2010 FirstGrass concert. We'll have more news on that later this spring. Be sure you're signed up for our "Notes from the Planet" email newsletter for all the latest.
Sunset Plaza in Mountain Village
Sunset Plaza is located along Mountain Village Boulevard in the heart of it all – the Village Center. Well-located with easy access of the Chondola, Sunset Plaza is aptly named because of its west-facing orientation resulting in great sun exposure and amazing sunset views.

Sunset Plaza is easily accessible by foot or gondola. Once in the Village Center, stroll through Heritage Plaza and Conference Center Plaza where many of the town’s shops and restaurants are located before following the cobblestone walkway to Sunset Plaza.
As always, the gondola from Telluride provides a breathtaking (and free) means of traveling to Mountain Village. Plan to spend the evening in Mountain Village - dining at one of the numerous great restaurants, wandering the shops, taking in the spectacular views, and enjoying the official first bluegrass of the 2009 Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
The FirstGrass Concert is completely free thanks to a partnership between Planet Bluegrass and the Town of Mountain Village.
