Monticello Main Street, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 by concerned local volunteers dedicated to historic preservation and to strengthening our community's economic growth. The main area of concentration is in the downtown business district, and the extended fringe area of Monticello's downtown.
Monticello Main Street also plans events throughout the year like the May Market in May, and the Farmer's Market from June through October, and the Monticello Celebration in the Fall.
"To strengthen the vitality of Monticello's Downtown by promoting civic pride, encouraging growth, and preserving and improving community involvement and resources."
The Main Street approach is the most efficient and cost-effective approach to preserving the community's identity, social character, and heritage and enhances its viability and quality of life. It gives our community a competitive edge in attracting the kind of quality growth and development we need and seek. It improves business and life in the downtown and affects business throughout the town.

Giving the gift of experiences is becoming more and more popular, and with good reason! People have the chance to make memories and enjoy the things they love most. This holiday season, give someone the Chocolate Fantasy experience in historic, downtown Monticello. Tickets are $15 and will go on sale this Friday, just in time to purchase, print and wrap for Christmas! Make it a date night, a family fun night, or a "girlfriends night out." This event is family-friendly with good times and sweet treats to be had, for sure!
If you've never been, here's how it works... Guests purchase an online ticket, then check-in at one of the check-in points the night of the event. Attendees then stroll from merchant to merchant, savoring sweet, chocolate samples at every stop! (Small bags are provided at check-in for those who need to save some for later!)
A full list of participating merchants and more details will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
