The Annual Monte Rio Variety Show marks its 101st anniversary in 2012.

Join us for a special evening of music, comedy and theater to celebrate with Monte Rio and the Russian River communities. All proceeds raise funds for local charities. Past shows have featured such stars as Art Linkletter, Merv Griffin, Bing Crosby and Phil Harris and current shows have starred Clint Black, Zac Brown, Tom Scott, Steve Miller, Jerry Lopez, Big Al Anderson and Shelly Berg. Together they carry on the show tradition every July on the banks of the Russian River. With a uniquely wide range of acts, from Jazz to Classical, from Country to Rock, the Show has been a Russian River tradition for 101 years.

The 101st “Monte Rio Variety Show” begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 26, at the Monte Rio Amphitheater. The Big Band conducted by Rich Welker will perform during the pre-show.

Join your neighbors and friends for the barbeque, hosted by the Monte Rio Fire Services Foundation beginning at 4:30pm. All proceeds from the food vendors go directly back into the local Community. Gates open at 7:00am on Thursday, July 26th, for chair set up.
