High Rio isn’t just a grassroots music festival — it’s a Russian River fever dream stitched together with guitar strings and sunbeams. Food sizzling, kids doing cartwheels in the grass, the air thick with harmonies and something…herbal. Local bands — the real deal. The kind of sundrenched summer magic only a river town can conjure.

We’re talkin’ bare feet in the grass, dancing with strangers, kissing under redwoods, the whole beautiful mess of humanity celebrating our favorite place Monte Rio — the beating heart of summer. Every amp turned up is a vote for the community. Every note played is a celebration of small town soul.

So come on down to The Monte Rio Theater & Extravaganza, bring your weird uncle, your tambourine, your sunhat and your dancing shoes. High Rio’s calling — and it ain’t leavin’ no voicemail.
