Jefferson County Watermelon Festival

Join us for the 73rd Annual Watermelon Festival, a summertime tradition in Monticello since 1949. From pageants to parades, bed races and barbeque, this event offers small town fun for the entire family.

Our theme for this year is "Homegrown Happiness," and we can't wait to celebrate!
