Hey John
Not sure if you know but Jazz Fest added another Thursday for the 50th year.
Rumors about 2nd Thursday. Very strong rumors that the Rolling Stones will play
with limit of 50,000 tickets at $150. We heard that the Stones will announce their
2019 tour tomorrow. Monday 11/19 The Jazz Fest diehards are against this.
For myself, get in for free each day 3 hours before the gates open. So no big deal.
2019 will be our 38th JF in a row. Only missed one weekend since 1989. You can
find me on their message board as Fred Texas JF Fanatic.

Hey, if your a Telluride Bluegrass fan I HIGHLY recommend Old Settlers Festival the
same weekend as French Quarter Festival. Great vibe, the folks there you make you feel
like family day one. Very laid back vibe. Only a crowd of maybe 3,000. You must add this
to your "to do list".

Checkout 2019 lineup.

1.Will we be able to get our wristbands on Tuesday?
2. If we get in line by 6 AM on the campers side should we be within the first 10 folks in line?
3. Willing to team up with folks in running of the tarps. We only need room for two chairs.
    We are long time music festival krewe members. (Krewe = crew)  (cajun country)
4. This is our first Telluride Bluegrass and second music festival in Telluride.

1. More than likely, yes.
2. Maybe, maybe not. Tarp run numbers will be passed out in random fashion so you could get #1 or #121.
3. Get to know your neighbors or buddy up with a veteran, it never hurts.
4. Welcome to the family. You'll have a blast.

If you only need room for two chairs do you really need a tarp? Folk will let you share their tarp! Just remember to only bring low chairs

Has there ever been any bear sightings in Town Park during fest?

[AnythingAtAll]

Has there ever been any bear sightings in Town Park during fest?

The four-legged variety wouldn't be anywhere close unless desperate and/or starving.

Plenty of sightings of the urban dictionary style two-legged variety, occasionally desperate but rarely starving.

Has there ever been any bear sightings in Town Park during fest?

They are near so be bear aware. Bear Creek Trail early morning there was a bear sighting but alot of folks in town and I have never heard of any in town. I was told they have walked through the Bear Creek Lodge last year as they were having a party.

1.What time do the gates open each morning to run the tarps in?
2.What time do they hand out numbers?
3.What if we miss getting a number, but end up being first person in line after everyone
with numbers has enter about where would we be. # 300 in line??

another question
4.  from another thread: Is this still the policy? No numbers for Town Park campers, first come first served.

Those not camping at Warner/TP, have their own line, and there are no numbers. Those that get in line first, get into the festival first.

Those not camping at Warner/TP, have their own line

There's currently nothing to prevent those camping at Warner/TP to get in said line.

Get there early on Wednesday for WF camping.  We arrived around 7:30am and there were about 50 people already lined up.  We were able to get a great spot but it gets very crowded - our tents were right on top of each other.  Still a great time though - I would totally do it again
