Monterey Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival by Ewingjr98
Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival is one of Monterey's oddest events of the hundreds that take place here each year. Using much of the Monterey Conference Center in the Portola Plaza Hotel, the three-day event has it all from music & poetry to quilting bees and dance... all with lots of hats, belt buckles, leather, and chaps, in a town not used to seeing these particular accouterments. Many of the performers are from the Pacific Coast areas such as Monterey County, Oregon, and western Canada.
Tickets range from $15 to $35 per show or $190 for the entire weekend pass which includes 11 performances, and is $55 off the total price if you bought individual tickets for each event. The Friday night BBQ is an extra $50.
