Join Volunteer Team And Earn A 3-Day Festival Pass
Don’t just go to the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, become a part of it! We’re looking for reliable, hardworking and fun-loving individuals to join our team. Volunteering is a great way to earn a 3-Day Pass, meet new friends, get a free festival t-shirt and be a part of the show! Don’t wait to sign up, spots are filling up fast!
All you have to do is fill out the application and choose the shifts and department that you’d like to join.
We appreciate all of our volunteers, especially those of you who come back year after year, bringing your experience and enthusiasm to the festival. You are all an integral part of the event and we could not do it without you!
What’s It All About?
Volunteers will receive a 3-Day Festival Pass and a Festival Staff T-Shirt! We strive to make volunteering as easy and fun as possible. Volunteering is also a great way to meet friends and catch a glimpse of the “behind-the-scenes” action of festival production.
All volunteers must complete two 6-7 hour shifts in order to earn a 3-Day Festival Pass. Shifts are available in a variety of positions before, during, and after the festival. Volunteers who are scheduled for pre-festival or post-festival shifts that are 9 am – 6 pm (8 hours) only need to complete one shift in order to earn a 3-Day Festival Pass. Shifts are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, so be sure to apply early!
Anything Else I Need To Know?
All volunteers must be 18 or older to apply.
All volunteers must pay a one-time non-refundable application fee of $25.
All volunteers must submit an application below to be considered for a volunteer position. If accepted as a volunteer, you must complete two shifts (6-7 hours each) in exchange for a 3-Day festival pass and a festival staff t-shirt. We typically assign each volunteer one morning shift and one afternoon or evening shift.
All applicants must enter credit card information as a guarantee that you will complete your scheduled shifts if accepted as a volunteer. If you fail to satisfactorily complete your scheduled shifts, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival reserves the right to charge for the equivalent amount of a 3-Day Pass (refer to the “I Agree” section on the volunteer application for more information).
Please note that Camping and Juke Joint passes are not included. If you are volunteering and would like to camp during the festival, you will need to purchase a camping pass separately.
