Monument to Celebrate
147 Years in a Big Way
with Inaugural Monumental
Birthday Bash
Free, family-friendly community event will bring live music, food trucks,
hometown pride, and a major birthday celebration to downtown Monument
on June 4 at Limbach Park
MONUMENT, Colo. — May 1, 2026 — The Town of Monument is getting ready to celebrate 147
years of history, community, and hometown spirit with the debut of Monumental Birthday
Bash, a free, family-friendly event set for June 4 at Limbach Park in downtown Monument.
"147 years is a milestone worth stopping to appreciate, and what makes Monument special has
never wavered: the people,” says Mayor Mitch LaKind. “I've had the privilege of knowing this
town as both a resident and its mayor, and the Monumental Birthday Bash is a chance for all of
us to come together, celebrate how far we've come, and look ahead to everything still in front of
us,” he adds.
Presented by Salt Creek Productions and Tall Boy Marketing, in cooperation with The Town of
Monument and the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce, Monumental Birthday Bash is designed to
be more than just another community gathering. It is a celebration of the people, businesses,
families, and local pride that continue to shape Monument into one of Colorado’s most beloved
small towns.
“The Monumental Birthday Bash reflects the best of Monument; our community spirit, our
beautiful downtown and a celebration that brings people together to honor our Town,” says Town
Manager Madeline VanDenHoek.
The event will feature live music, food trucks, and family fun in one of Monument’s most
recognizable gathering spaces. Headlining the celebration is WireWood Station, an
award-winning Monument-based Americana and acoustic variety band known across Colorado
for tight harmonies and high-energy performances. Joining the lineup is Joey Fletcher, a
Murfreesboro, Tennessee-based blues-rock slide guitarist whose sound brings a dynamic
Southern edge to the stage. Salt Creek Productions will lead event production, delivering
professionally engineered sound and lighting designed to create a clear, immersive, and
engaging live music experience throughout Limbach Park.
“With Colorado turning 150 and our nation celebrating its 250th anniversary, 2026 is a landmark
year for all of us,” says Justin Styll, of Tall Boy Marketing. “By joining forces with Salt Creek
Productions, we are able to bring a high-caliber celebration to our neighbors in Monument.
We’ve worked hard to include special collaborations and a few 'monumental' surprises that will
make the Monumental Birthday Bash truly unforgettable for the whole family."
More than a concert, Monumental Birthday Bash is a celebration of place. The event honors a
town whose roots stretch back to the 1800s and whose sense of connection remains one of its
defining strengths. Organizers say the goal is to create a signature community tradition that
reflects Monument’s history while inviting residents and visitors alike to experience its energy in
a fresh and memorable way.
“Salt Creek Productions is thrilled to be part of bringing something special to Monument,” says
Eric du Toit, owner of Salt Creek Productions. “Our goal is to create an experience that feels
intentional, engaging, and worthy of the community gathering around it. It is about building
something people connect with now, and that can grow into a tradition for years to come.”
With a free admission model and a location at the center of town, the event is positioned to draw
families, music lovers, and community supporters for an evening built around live entertainment
and local connection. Organizers say additional event details and announcements will be
released as the celebration approaches.
