NightGrass Shows

The sun may set and the temperature may drop, but the music doesn't stop at Telluride Bluegrass... NightGrass is the late-night component of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

Sheridan Opera House Sign
YMSB Kick-Off Show

These intimate indoor shows are held nightly at the historic Sheridan Opera House and the Fly Me to the Moon Saloon - both located on Colorado Avenue in Telluride, just a few blocks from the Town Park festival grounds. Special shows are also held at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village (a free gondola ride from Telluride).

A very limited number of All-Venue Passes sold-out through our online lottery. These passes are good at any of the venues on a space-available basis.

For the ninth consecutive year, Festivarians from around the world will take the sunset gondola from Telluride to Mountain Village to celebrate the kick-off of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. It's the official beginning to four adventurous, magical days of music and festivation in Telluride, with one of Festivarian Nation's favorite bands. It will be one of the sets people talk about all weekend - a high-energy improvisational freak-out, followed by a Festivarian-filled gondola ride descending into the lights of Telluride. If this is your first Telluride, this is where to begin. If it's not your first, well... then you already know. Top
