Old Town Monrovia’s Seventh Annual Food, Wine & Jazz Festival (FW&J) will be held on Sunday, September 7 from 5-8 p.m. back in the heart of Old Town at the 500 block of Myrtle Avenue (between Lime Ave. and Colorado Blvd.), in Monrovia, CA.

Attendees are invited to ‘excite their senses and savor the flavors’ at this annual end-of-summer soiree and spend a leisurely evening under the stars sampling menu specialties from area restaurants and sampling wine and spirits from California vintners and spirit producers while enjoying a variety live jazz performances.

All the proceeds from this enjoyable event benefit Monrovia-based community organizations.

The Santa Anita YMCA (SAYMCA) is this year’s beneficiary. As far back as the 1870's there was a YMCA in Monrovia. Through its programs the organization has been building a community “…where all people are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body”. All programs are structured around character development building blocks of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

With each passing year the FW&J Festival is eagerly anticipated and continues to grow in popularity—now in its seventh year and located back in the heart of Old Town the limited sponsorships and tickets are expected to sell-out well in advance. Advanced ticket sales and sponsorship reservations are strongly encouraged.
