Monrovia Music Fest will celebrate its fifth anniversary under the famous Morton Bay Fig tree at Library Park, 321 S. Myrtle Ave in Old Town Monrovia, on Sunday, June 3rd, 2018 from 12:00 to 7:00 p.m. The event will feature a diverse mixture of musical genres throughout the day, including virtuosic Latin dance with Roger Espinosa’s Café Fuego, alternative rock, R&B, acoustic folk, world-renown musical whistling, and more. Various award-winning indie SoCal bands and artists will perform at the festival: The Travelling Fools, The Whistling Diva, Hardly Sisters, Mikael Pederson, and many others. Admission is free.
Festival-goers will be pleasantly surprised by a wide selection of local craft beers from 38 Degrees Ale House, Hop Secret Brewing Co, and Congregation Ale House. Monrovia Music Fest will feature a great variety of food trucks (Kogi Truck, Okamoto Kitchen, BBQ Smokehouse and Dulce Shave Ice, etc.), an artisan market, and fun activities for the whole family. The Metro Gold Line’s Monrovia Station on Myrtle Ave. drops off attendees just a street from Library Park.
What started as a small community fest in 2014 has grown to become one of the largest music festivals in the San Gabriel Valley, drawing a crowd from all over Los Angeles County. Throughout the years, Monrovia Music Fest has championed regional indie talent, featured a Grammy Award winner and international musicians, promoted local businesses, and partnered with non-profit organizations such as Homeboy Industries and the Boys and Girls Club. This year the Fest has partnered with the Renal Support Network, a nonprofit which provides services and a world-class prom for those with kidney disease. The Studio C Productions team has been awarded by Congresswoman Grace Napolitano, the State Senate, and the Chamber of Commerce.
The festival is possible thanks to the support of their Elite Sponsors, The Wizard of Bras, Sir Speedy, and Cacique, the leading brand of Mexican-style cheeses in the United States, headquartered in Monrovia.
