Monticellobration 2019
An annual street festival in historic, downtown Monticello, highlighting the things that make our community unique! Food trucks, vendor shopping, our beloved brick-and-mortars, and all kinds of pop-ups and entertainment! 2018 boasted a kiddie tractor pull, two magicians, an exotic petting zoo, multiple bounce houses, an antique Hodge-hand car train ride for kids, face painting, ballon artist, LIVE music and so much more! We’re hoping to make it all happen again, and grow this event even more in 2019!This is a family-friendly daytime event, with evening festivities designed to entertain the 21+ crowd.
