The school year is coming to a close. As the Class of 2023 prepares to receive their diplomas and head out into the world, Telluride took the time to celebrate them with the annual Graduation Parade down Main Street.

In decked out cars, bikes, , and fire engines to start, graduating students – in full cap and gown - drove down Colorado Ave, waiving to supportive onlookers though intermittent rain showers.

Those onlookers shared their well wishes for the students, as they leave the safe nest of home and head into adulthood. KOTO’s Julia Caulfield was there and has this report.

Telluride High School’s graduation will take place on Friday, June 2nd at 3 p.m. at the Palm Theatre.
