Elks Park Workshops
![]() |
| Swell Season at Elks Park in 2008 |
|---|
A long-standing Telluride tradition, workshops are presented throughout the festival – Thursday through Sunday – at Elks Park, on the south side of Colorado Avenue (main street) directly across from the Sheridan Opera House.
These more intimate workshops bring together unique musical collaborations and more informal performances from festival artists as well as the preliminary rounds for both the Telluride Troubadour and band contests. These events are presented free to all Festivarians. Updated daily schedules are posted at Elks Park as well as the Festival box office and the sponsor tent inside the Festival grounds next to the Country Store.
