The 108th Anniversary Monte Rio Variety Show!
The Annual Monte Rio Variety Show marks its 108th anniversary on July 25, 2019. Join us for a special evening of music, comedy and theater to celebrate with Monte Rio and the Russian River communities. All proceeds raised fund local charities. Past shows have featured such stars as Art Linkletter, Merv Griffin, Bing Crosby and Phil Harris and current shows have starred Kix Brooks, Elvin Bishop, Billy Valentine, Tim Nichols, Big Al Anderson and Shelly Berg. Together they carry on the show tradition every July at the Monte Rio Amphitheater surrounded by the towering redwood trees.
With a uniquely wide range of acts, from Jazz to Classical, from Country to Rock, the Monte Rio Variety Show has been a Russian River tradition for 108 years.
The 108th Monte Rio Variety Show begins at 4:30 p.m. join your neighbors and friends for barbeque, hosted by the Monte Rio Fire Services Foundation; and a fantastic dessert bar, hosted by the Monte Rio School Foundation. Wine and beer is also available for purchase. All proceeds from the food vendors go directly back into the local Community.
