Experience the Telluride Nothing Festival
Telluride is full of vibrant festivals that attract travelers from all over, such as the Telluride Film Festival, Telluride Jazz Festival, and Telluride 4th of July Festival, to name just a few. The locals wanted to add to the endless festivals by creating the Telluride Nothing Festival. It celebrates absolutely nothing!
Although the locals enjoy the commerce and energy festivals and travelers bring, they grow weary of the crowds. During the Telluride Nothing Festival, there will be no waiting in lines or struggling to find parking. This festival is a weekend of nothing. Not many people outside of the Telluride community even know about the festival because there is no advertising or tickets required.
Watch the Telluride Nothing Festival Parade
There is one main highlight of the Telluride Nothing Festival, and you'll probably want to leave the kids at home for it. The Telluride Nothing Festival Parade features adults strolling down Colorado Avenue with nothing on. Some accessories and body paint are worn, like fun hats, feather boas, and sunglasses. The parade participants will be walking, skateboarding, biking, jogging, and even unicycling down the street to celebrate nothing.
When: The Telluride Nothing Festival happens every year in the third week of July.
