The Monrovia Music Fest returns to Library Park in the heart of Old Town Monrovia on Sunday, June 28, from noon to 7 p.m., bringing a full day of live music, art, and food to the San Gabriel Valley. Hosted by nonprofit organization Creative Being, the free annual festival is now in its 9th year.
Festivalgoers can enjoy live performances throughout the day, a curated artisan marketplace, food trucks, family-friendly activities, and a 5,000-square-foot craft beer and wine garden featuring a ticketed VIP lounge experience with premium stage views.
A representative from Kathryn Barger’s office praised the festival’s impact on the community: “Creative Being will bring people from Monrovia and surrounding cities to achieve their creative passions through the arts… and will bring people together to create a sense of belonging and community.”
This year’s lineup showcases an eclectic mix of emerging and established artists, including LA Winter, The Snipes, Captain Danger, Young Keta, and internationally acclaimed musical whistler The Whistling Diva, who also serves as producer of the festival. Spanning indie rock, alternative, acoustic, and genre-blending performances, the festival offers something for every music lover.
“Our goal is to create more than a music festival — we’re creating an environment of inspiration,” said Creative Being President Carole Kaufman. “The musicians may inspire someone to learn guitar or sing, while the artists and makers may encourage someone to start painting, crafting, or creating something they’ve always dreamed about. We want people to leave saying ‘yes’ to their own creativity.”
Creative Being is also the organization behind the Masters of Musical Whistling Competition, the world’s premier whistling championship, currently the subject of “WHISTLE,” a feature documentary from an Academy Award-nominated Australian production company that has been screening at major international film festivals, including a recent presentation at the Sydney Opera House during the Sydney International Film Festival.
Whether it’s music, movement, making, or something entirely personal, Monrovia Music Fest celebrates the idea that creativity belongs to everyone. Conveniently located near the Metro A Line Monrovia Station, Library Park is located at 321 S. Myrtle Ave. in Monrovia. Admission to the festival is free and open to all ages.
