June 17-18, 2022
Join us for the 71st Annual Watermelon Festival,
a summertime tradition in Monticello since 1949.
Our 2021 festival was one for the record books and we are planning bigger and better things for 2022.
From pageants to parades, bed races and barbeque, this event offers small town fun for the entire family.
Our theme for this year is “Sweetest Smiles of
Summer,” and we plan to provide plenty!
