The Telluride Blues & Brews Festival is about more than music—it’s a celebration of community, culture, and unforgettable experiences. Returning on Thursday, September 17, the annual Music Maker Foundation Fundraiser Dinner offers an early glimpse into the festival’s culinary and artistic spirit. At the heart of the evening is a multi-course menu created by acclaimed chef Eliza Gavin of Telluride’s 221 South Oak and Bravo’s Top Chef, known for her seasonal, globally inspired cuisine designed to pair bold flavors with a memorable night of music.
