Unfortunately, the festival came to an end by 1:00 p.m. after a wind and rainstorm blew over canopies and tables. We hope 2023 will be more successful!
August 14, 2021 - CANCELLED
Sadly, because of a large forest fire in our area, we had to cancel the 2021 Monarch Rocks! festival. Firefighters used the area for transport and storage, and residents in Monarch and along US 89 thru Neihart received pre-evacuation notices.
August 2020 - COVID
Because of COVID, there was no festival this year.

The third annual Monarch Rocks! Festival took place on August 13 and proved to be the most successful. The Depot and Drover Car Caboose were open to the public. Live campfire acoustic guitar music was provided, restored vehicles provided by the Skunk Wagon Car Club were on display, and the 1913 Ford car used by Rev. Snow who preached in Monarch and Neihart was on display. Free wagon rides around Monarch were provided by Ted and Tom, two Belgian horses. Vendors were available selling a variety of items and Electric City Concessions provided food. A great time was had by all!
Our Festival next year will be held August 12, 2017, so mark your calendars NOW!
