The Monaghan Town Country Music Festival is still quite new, but with a popularity and following that similar events of greater vintage can only envy. Perhaps the secret of its success lies in the simplicity of its formula: “A weekend of country music and fun for all the family.”
Though a significant part of the success story is assuredly also the community nature of the occasion, which is founded on a voluntary effort coordinated by the local organising committee and contributed to by many civic-minded local citizens, businesses, and public administrators.
