Venues, Schedules, & More
The inaugural San Juan Songwriters Festival, taking place September 24–27, 2026, will bring together Hall of Fame songwriters, chart-topping hitmakers, and rising voices for a multi-day, multi-venue event set throughout historic downtown Durango, Colorado.
Designed to feel more like a series of conversations than a traditional concert, the festival offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience the music they love in its most raw and personal form.
Set against the backdrop of the San Juan Mountains, the festival offers a walkable, immersive experience that blends world-class songwriting with the character and charm of one of Colorado’s most vibrant mountain towns.
