Oops - I just heard Arts and Krafts probably won’t be held this year. I’ll add it back to the calendar if I hear otherwise.
Sorry I played but was pretty buzzed. Was it herd?
is there a 2025 signup / bringing /still needing list for Bloodies?
They are doing tip donations, and suggested if you want to bring toppings, pickled stuff etc…
I mean im definitely bringing plenty of pickled things. but I know we had a nice list last year and it helped.
MARCO… So where is everyone hiding? This place was always hopping. Please don’t tell me they’ve all sold out to some FB stuff.
it seems the new format scared some folks and FB seems to have won eyeballs.
The folks who took over Bloody’s last year, said that they received more money in tips than was spent on ingredients, so they said they would just get all the basic ingredients, and just do a tip jar. And, folks can bring adding and toppings, and I think folks can bring mimosa stuff. There’s a post about it somewhere here on the forum.

Hi! Camp Porky Pig hosted this kickball game (same folks behind previous years’ Chard in the Yard).
We are smaller in numbers this year due to some baby festivarians being born, so while there won’t be anything official, we’ll support in whatever way we can!

Hi all,
I am a first-timer traveling to TBF solo to rendezvous with my friends who will be arrived and set up at Mary E Illium Campground on Wed/Thurs. I have the 4 day pass with access to this area. I am traveling Thursday 6/19. The thing is, I’m arriving around midnight in a rental car that will need to be temporarily parked over night and returned on Friday morning/afternoon to the Telluride Airport.
A few questions:
-Am I able to enter the festival at this time?
-Am I able to park my rental car temporarily overnight anywhere near Mary E Illium Campground or The Festival grounds if I arrive at this time (12/1AM on 6/20)
-Anything else I should know related to this arrival plan or suggestions?
Thanks! (I tried posting in some other threads, but didn’t get any replies)
Hey! First off, welcome to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival—you’re gonna have an amazing time!
About your arrival plan:
Festival Entry: Mary E Ilium Campground has quiet hours from 2 AM to 7 AM, so if you’re getting in around midnight, you should be able to find your way in—just keep it low-key so you don’t disturb other campers. If you’re asking about the actual festival grounds, it’s best to double-check with festival volunteers / staff since late-night access will be limited. There’s really no reason to go to into town that late if your just arriving to meet up at Mary E
Parking: Parking near Mary E is super limited, and any car inside the campground needs a vehicle camping pass. Since you only need overnight parking, your best bet may be finding a spot in Telluride and taking the free shuttle from the campground entrance into town. It’s worth confirming in advance, though, because options at that hour might be tricky.
- A Few Tips:
The shuttle service runs until about 2 AM, so depending on when you get there, you might need a backup plan.
If you’re feeling adventurous, the Galloping Goose Trail lets you hike or bike into town, but it’s definitely a bit of a trek.
Cell service at Mary E Ilium is spotty, so make a game plan with your friends ahead of time so you’re not stuck trying to coordinate in the dark.
Sorry I am limited for details about airport transport. Hope this helps a little and again welcome, once you have all the details sorted I am sure you will have a blast at the festival!

Town Park Campers…
A heads up that we will once again be hosting the Grilled Cheese Spectacular at noon on Monday in the Duktape Kitchen. Feel free to bring donations so Chef Stephan can make unexpected flavors using sliced bread (or bread-ish items), cheeses, or toppings (including “stump the chef” ingredients). Items are welcome to be dropped by ahead of the event.
For those who have never joined this event, our chef will be using these items to create a variety of sandwiches that are cut and served in small, tasty bites allowing guests to enjoy many different offerings. There will not be full sandwiches served, but snack bites will be available for grazing between rounds. You can stop by for a quick taste or hang out to try many rounds. He usually keeps the grilled cheeses coming for a couple of hours.
You can find us at site 24 - look for the red and white striped tent. We can wait to serve you at our favorite cheesy event!

Hey all! TBF is quickly approaching and I just wanted to let everyone know the prefest Town Park events calendar is fully updated (to the best of my knowledge). @Badgerita is building out Main Stage/Elks Park acts as we speak so we’ll be able to have all Town Park and Music related events on the schedule all in one place.
You can access the calendar here or here.
If you can’t get it to work for some reason, DM me with your e-mail address and I can manually add ya!
Looking forward to seeing all of you!!!
