A Refreshing Way to Enjoy Historic Downtown Monticello
The Whites of Spring celebrates the arrival of Spring to downtown Monticello. Sample white wines as you walk, sip and shop participating merchants and restaurants. Newly added will be a few appetizer locations! This event is on Saturday, May 7 from 5-8:30 pm around historic, downtown Monticello. Wine sampling is reserved for ticketed guests, but all are invited to enjoy extended shopping hours, and visiting pop-up makers.
Once again, the map and wine glass pickup location will be in Wabash Depot (our tourism lobby and office location).
Ticket sales will start on April 1st at 8 am and close May 3rd at 12 am, or upon sell-out, whichever comes first.

It’s National Public Works Week, and we truly couldn’t do all the things we do without the support of Mayor Stoner and the @City of Monticello, Illinois Government Public Works Department. From parklet installation to keeping our streets clean and looking their best, their attention to detail helps keep our downtown district running smoothly—and looking good while doing it.
Design is one of the four cornerstones of the Main Street program, helping ensure the historic integrity of our National Historic District is preserved. It also supports thoughtful integration of public art, beautification, and seasonal décor that enhances downtown’s character while keeping its history front and center.
