We stay ready...


So we don't have to get ready!

Hello Reader!

It's officially July - the month where we really pop off for MONfest!

But you know, we've been staying ready so we don't have to get ready for our big day!

We wanted to share some updates with you as you make your plans for coming out to the Cellar Winery on Saturday July 12th!

Countdown to MONfest

New this year - Shuttle Service from Slater

We are excited to share that we will have a free shuttle for MONfest attendees leaving from Slater on the top of the hour and leaving the Festival Grounds at half past throughout the day.

While you can still park on the gravel near the winery, why stress when you can get shuttled in by the cute vintage bus by Dahlia Darling and Co and take advantage of special deals and experiences offered by our Slater Sponsors highlighted on the map below!

Park anywhere downtown and catch the shuttle at Slater City Hall.

Vendors - Please note you do not have to take the shuttle in and Siri will be sending details on unloading and setting up soon.

Don't forget we've got our official merch at our online shop -- we've got tees, trucker hats, and a digital download coloring book available now! Grab yours before the festival so you can be looking great day of!

Also on our official webpage you can find the most up to date festival map with vendor locations and a plethora of information for you to peruse.

Another way to support - The Siricasso Wine - Now Available at our Sponsor Wheatsfield Co-Op!

Available to order and ship to select locations, or to pick up at the Cellar Winery in Madrid, IA - a portion of all sales supports MONfest directly!

As always, we're glad you're here.

And we can't wait to see you at MONfest July 12th!

Thank you to our sponsors:
