Wild West Fest, Telluride
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.

Ouray International Film Festival, Ouray
Film festivals were founded with a specific purpose in mind: to support the success of film and filmmakers from beyond the mainstream. Some of the most beloved movies of all time got their start at film festivals. Without the infrastructure, support, and community of film festivals, these movies might never have become a part of our collective artistic culture. Our festival stands in this legacy of support. We bring in films from around the United States and across the globe to expose audiences to material they’re unlikely to see on streaming platforms or in theaters.

The Backyard Ultra with the views.
Come run beautiful Lake Estes over and over again.
The Backyard Ultra is a form of Ultra race where runners must complete 4.167 miles in less than one hour, every hour, until only one runner remains to complete a lap.
This runner is crowned the winner and only finisher, while all others will be marked as DNF. There is no predetermined end length or time we go until only one remains…..
Due to the location of our venue each yard will be 4.252 miles rather than the standard 4.167

18th Annual Ridgway RiverFest, Ridgway
The Ridgway RiverFest is a family-friendly celebration of the Uncompahgre River, our watershed and river recreation with all-age river races, live music, local food and drink, kids’ activities, watershed educational and cultural programs. RiverFest is produced by the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership, a Ouray County nonprofit watershed group dedicated to helping protect the economic, natural, and scenic values of the Upper Uncompahgre River Watershed. The highlight of the day is the infamous “Junk of the Unc” race in which boaters maneuver their craft, constructed from scrap materials not intended for river travel, through whitewater rapids and others’ junk, trying to keep it all intact until the finish line.
