TellurideNewb.com – Captures the feel of a Mountain Town Celebration
No matter where you are on Independence Day, you’re going to have a great time. The summer sun, the parades, the barbecues, the parties and the fireworks all add up to make one hell of a day. And Telluride is no exception.
Be sure to take this video to full screen and turn up the volume!

Starting out with a Main Street parade that the whole town practically participates in, visitors and locals alike found the 4th of July filled with block parties and cookouts, most notably the fireman’s picnic in town park. Add to the equation slip ‘n slide kickball, potato sack races and day hikes and there truly was no dull moment for anyone on America’s birthday.
And although the fireworks put on by the fire department were spectacular, especially from a viewpoint so close that you could actually feel them going off, the highlight of the entire day was undoubtedly the jet flybys, which kicked off the parade. The sound waves bouncing off of town and the surrounding peaks were pretty epic, to say the least.
Hope you had as good of a 4th as we did!
