Inspiring, spectacular, and fantastical art, performers, workshops. and nightly entertainment in Telluride: Dec. 4-6, 2020. The Telluride Fire Festival seeks to create and sustain an interactive performing arts festival, that provides a platform for artists to entertain, educate and promote their work.

The annual nonprofit Telluride Fire Festival made its debut in January 2015. The event was inspired by Burning Man, the annual celebration of community, art and fire, that draws 70,000 people to the Nevada desert every Labor Day weekend. The goal was to bring the Burning Man ethos to Telluride along with the larger-than-life fire art to the region to support these artists and allow more people the ability to see, interact with, and create this visual magic. Since 2015, the annual event continues to offer dynamic art performances each evening in a variety of locations. Additional ticketed entertainment, plus an over-the-top Fire Ball with theatrical performances, music, cash bar, and an outdoor fire sculpture garden. Free and fee-based fire related workshops are also a staple component of the Telluride Fire Festival. This December 4-6, 2020 we expect to change it up again with new fiery art and unique performance art.
