Showcasing an eclectic mix of iconic legends, local artists, and up and coming young talent covering dance, classical, country, folk, jazz, pop, rock’n roll , ska, world music and so much more. Monmouth Festival's aim is to allow everyone to enjoy a live music performance whether it is in the open air, in a church or pub; whether it is an old favourite, new or local talent, there is something to please everyone.
We are so proud that the community of Monmouth, a small traditional county town has for the last 34 years staged what is considered to be one of the longest running, largest and best free volunteer organised festivals in Europe. In 2017 we will be celebrating the 35th Festival. During its long history the Festival has got bigger and better and now includes a Busking Festival and a growing Fringe. The Festival prides itself on being extremely friendly, relaxed and an opportunity for families and all generations of people to come together and enjoy themselves.
Organised by a committee of unpaid hardworking passionate volunteers for the people of Monmouth town and the surrounding areas, but attracting visitors from all over the world, it is proud to be considered one of the largest and best free volunteer organised festivals in Europe.
