Wow, Montrose – you don’t look a day over 100!

Celebrate Montrose’s 125th anniversary on May 2 with free musical performances, historic review and presentations, and yummy desserts from numerous local restaurants.  Tickets are free, but must be picked up in advance at City Hall, the Pavilion, or the Chamber of Commerce.  See you at the Pavilion at 6 PM — let’s party!

The celebration continues on May 5 in Centennial Plaza from 8 AM to 9 PM.  There’ll be music, dance, and other entertainment all day, a quilt show, craft fair, kids games, train rides, carriage rides, and a car show.  Guided Walking Tours of historic downtown Montrose will take place from 10 AM to 6 PM.

A parade will make its way along Main Street starting at noon.  But wait; there’s more!

From 1 to 3 PM, stop in at the Firestation for tours, a Kids’ Agility Course, and, of course, great photo opps.

The Museum of the Mountain West offers free admission from 2 to 4 PM.  This  museum features a number of original and restored historic buildings saved from demolition as Montrose has grown.  The Ute Indian Museum welcomes you for free from 2 to 4:30 PM.
