The Pride Window Decorating Contest Returns to Telluride Gay Ski Week

Presented by US Bank

Get ready — the Pride Window Decorating Contest is returning to Telluride Gay Ski Week and it’s set to light up town like never before.

From February 28 – March 7, 2026, storefronts throughout Telluride and Mountain Village will transform into dazzling displays of color, creativity, and unapologetic Pride. Local businesses are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with bold designs, playful themes, sparkling installations, and plenty of rainbow energy.

Whether you’re heading to the slopes, grabbing dinner, or strolling through town, you’ll be surrounded by vibrant expressions of love, inclusion, and community spirit. Every window tells a story — and you get to help choose the best of the best.

Vote for your favorite display and support the businesses that show up and show out for Pride. The top vote-getter in each division will win two coveted tickets to the Glitter Ball — one of the most iconic and glamorous nights of the week.

Winners will be announced on the morning of Saturday, March 7 — so stay tuned and get those votes in!

Let’s make Telluride shine brighter than ever.
