What an incredible weekend! We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us in downtown Monticello for this year’s Spring Fest. Seeing our community come together to pack the streets on both Friday and Saturday nights was truly spectacular.

An event of this scale takes a village, and we have so many people to thank for making it an unforgettable success:

To Our Incredible Crowds

Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the free concerts! Your energy, packing the downtown area, and dancing along to the music reminded us all why Monticello is such a wonderful place to live and gather.

To Our Phenomenal Musical Lineup

The talent on stage this weekend was absolute top-tier. A massive thank you to our incredible local and regional bands for kicking things off and keeping the crowd rocking:

Rapid Transit

Genexx

Samuel Fairchild

Potential Alibi

Tattered Sons

To Our Spectacular Headliners

Our weekend headliners completely blew the roof off downtown!

Friday Night: A huge shoutout to Biggun, the ultimate AC/DC tribute band, for an absolutely electric Friday night performance that set the perfect high-voltage tone for the weekend.

Saturday Night: We are still reeling from the unbelievable performance by Mr. Speed, the number one KISS tribute band in the world. Their show on Saturday night was a masterclass in rock 'n' roll entertainment and left the entire crowd in awe.

To Our Sponsors and Leadership

This entirely free event would not have been possible without the vision, funding, and hard work of our leadership.

Thank you to the Monticello Tourist Commission for sponsoring Spring Fest and continually investing in our community's vibrant culture.

A special thank you to Mayor Kenny Catron and his dedicated city staff for their invaluable help.

To the Production Crew

Finally, a massive, well-deserved thank you goes to Danny Davis and Pro Video-Audio Productions. The sound, lighting, and overall production quality were flawless, turning downtown Monticello, into a world-class concert venue for the weekend.

Thank you all for making Spring Fest a resounding success. We are already looking forward to the next time we can all gather downtown to rock out together!
