The Sheridan Arts Foundation invites you to be a part of one of the most meaningful and exciting festivals of the Telluride community, the annual Wild West Fest.

Since 1991, the Sheridan Arts Foundation has raised more than $40,000 each year to bring 40-50 underserved youth from Boys & Girls Clubs from around the country to Telluride for a week of nurturing, child-centered mentorship programs and fascinating cultural experiences as a part of the Chip Allen Mentorship Program (C.A.M.P). Here in Telluride, we enjoy many privileges, and Wild West Fest is a chance to share our community with kids who can really benefit from what it has to offer. This is our chance to open our town and our hearts to kids in need. The goal of the Sheridan Arts Foundation every year is to provide an esteem-building experience for each child that allows them to challenge themselves in a supportive and non-competitive environment.

Head to the park for day full of family fun at the Wild West Fest Roundup! To mark the 30th anniversary of their Wild West Fest program, the Sheridan Arts Foundation will host FREE stagecoach and covered wagon rides, Native American dance, live music, blacksmith and sheep-shearing demonstrations, a nickel drop, old west photos, a Butch Cassidy bank robbery reenactment and face painting all on Main St. and Elks and Oak St. Park, plus mining sluicing at the Telluride Historical Museum. No reservations/tickets required.
