As August unfolds, Telluride offers a variety of events catering to diverse interests. Here’s a look at some upcoming highlights:
Telluride Mushroom Festival
From August 12 to 16, the Telluride Mushroom Festival celebrates all things mycological. Since 1981, this festival has brought together mycologists, scientists, foragers, and enthusiasts to explore fungi through science, culture, and community. This year’s theme, ‘Rewild,’ focuses on reconnecting with land, ecology, and community. Attendees can expect daily lectures, immersive outdoor experiences, and signature events like the Mushroom Parade and the Puff Ball costume dance party.
