MONTBELLO ALIVE! HISTORY
Montbello Alive! was created to celebrate the vibrant, diverse, and resilient community of Montbello. Founded in September 1965, Montbello became Denver's first major annexation of privately owned land, adding over 2,600 acres to the far northeast part of the city. Today, Montbello is a thriving community of over 36,000 residents, proud of its rich history and strong sense of unity.
Despite facing challenges related to infrastructure, affordable housing, education, and access to healthy foods, Montbello residents have continued to invest in their community through grassroots organizing and advocacy. Montbello Alive! was founded to honor the dignity, pride, and diversity of its residents, creating a safe and inclusive space for families to celebrate with food, entertainment, and activities.
The 10th annual Montbello Alive! will highlight the diverse and unique cultural dynamics of our community through food, entertainment and family-friendly activities.
