The Monrovia Music Fest is set to return next month with another annual array of diverse performers, food, libations and fun for the whole family.
Now in its eighth year, organizers describe the festival as one of the most anticipated summer kick-off events in the San Gabriel Valley. The all-day, free event features live performances by artists playing multiple musical styles, a curated artisan market, a variety of food trucks, a kids zone and a 5,000-square-foot craft beer and wine garden, including a VIP lounge that offers the best views of the stage.
The festival is scheduled for June 8 at Library Park, 321 S. Myrtle Ave., from noon-7 p.m. and is hosted by Creative Being, “a nonprofit dedicated to awakening the artist in everyone,” according to organizers. “This festival affirms the power of creativity to build meaningful connections.”
Brendan Hidalgo from Supervisor Kathryn Barger’s office said in a statement, “Creative Being will bring people from Monrovia and surrounding cities to achieve their creative passions through the arts … and will help bring people together and create a sense of belonging and community.”
BMW of Monrovia, the festival’s title sponsor, will present an exclusive display of luxury vehicles. Attendees can get an up-close look at BMW’s latest designs and pick up some BMW branded swag.
From powerful vocals to intimate acoustic sets, this year’s lineup of musicians of independent artists and seasoned performers include Hailey Hermida & The Haze, Kathryn D’Costa, Blues and Fries, The Whistling Diva and more.
“We believe that everyone is an artist and when people express themselves creatively, quality of life expands exponentially,” Carole Anne Kaufman, president of Creative Being and the festival’s producer and founder, said in a statement. “Whether you paint, whistle or just want to find your spark — this fest is for you.”
Organizers invited the public to bring “friends, curiosity, and a blanket, adding that “Monrovia Music Fest is more than a music event; it’s a call to reawaken your creativity.” Arts and crafts are also a prominent fest feature.
Library Park is accessible from the Metro L (Gold) Line Monrovia Station, organizers noted.
