Telluride Jazz Festival Has a New Date

In order to get away from the rain that has haunted their festival the last few years, the Telluride Jazz Festival will move from the 1st weekend of August to the 1st weekend in June starting in 2008.

This move will combine the Jazz Festival and the Hot Air Balloon Festival on the same weekend so you can get two events for one price. I have never hung out with a lot of "balloon people", but I hear they are a fun crowd. They just tend to arise very early in the morning.

To celebrate the new dates, the Jazz Festival folks are giving ticket discounts for a limited time before they announce the lineup. I would highly recommend the Patron Pass, it is a sweet deal. Here is my review from this year for you to ponder over.
