Telluride Fourth of July & Parade- The best family entertainment in the world. Just our opinion...

Telluride still embraces the down home, small town Americana essence of an old fashioned Fourth of July. This former mining town and world-class ski resort, located deep in a box canyon in Southwestern Colorado's San Juan mountain range. Visitors from all over the world flock to Telluride on summer weekends, as this funky little community of just over 2,000+ is renowned for its weekly festivals, including the famed Bluegrass Festival, Wine Festival, Culinary Arts Festival, Blues and Brews, Wild Mushroom Festival...even a Nothing Festival (a break for locals from festivals). Fourth of July is considered one of the town's premier parties, featuring a truly entertaining parade that spans the five-block Main Street, followed by a barbecue in Town Park, root beer floats at the Telluride Historical Museum, and one of the most eye-popping fireworks displays anywhere. Held in the softball field at the park, the fireworks are shot into a natural amphitheatre of sorts, framed by snow-capped mountains and pines. Thousands of attendees lie on their backs, watching the display explode directly overhead. You may get a bit of ash on you, but I can't think of anywhere else you can have such an exhilarating pyrotechnical experience in such a profoundly spectacular natural setting.
