About Telluride Blues & Brews Festival:

The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival is an exciting three-day event set in the picturesque Telluride mountains, featuring an array of music genres, craft brews, and food vendors. The festival offers various ticket options, including early-bird tickets, single-day passes, and three-day passes. It also provides coveted VIP passes with exclusive privileges that are in high demand.

For potential volunteers, the festival provides an opportunity to contribute significantly to the event while enjoying perks such as a 3-Day Festival Pass and a Festival Staff T-Shirt. Volunteers have a diverse range of responsibilities, including Artist Hospitality, Merchandise Sales, Security, Race Organization, and Venue Setup and Breakdown, among others. Shift scheduling is fair and based on a first-come, first-serve basis, stressing the importance of early applications to secure preferred positions. Additionally, the cancellation policy enforces accountability by imposing a courtesy fee for late cancellations.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and are subject to a one-time non-refundable application fee of $25. They are also required to provide credit card information as a commitment guarantee. Furthermore, volunteers need to collect their passes from the festival box office promptly upon arrival. It’s worth noting that camping and Juke Joint passes are not included for volunteers, so separate arrangements are needed for those who wish to camp onsite.
