What is Monster Day?
A day full of music, art, food, entertainment, and costumes that celebrate all things “monster.” Come dressed up as your favorite monster, or just enjoy everyone else’s costumes. There will be a costume contest, face painting, monster makeup, Greeley’s own famous monster makers, Distortions Unlimited, will have a slew of their monstrous creations on display. Aside from the main stage entertainment, there will be food, vendors, professional makeup demonstrations, kids activities, costumed monsters roaming the plazas and more! Plus, there will be monster-related events and specials happening at different businesses in Downtown Greeley. Check out photos from last year’s event to see what you can expect. Oh, and there is no admission fee for Monster Day Greeley!
Why Monster Day?
Monsters have had a huge impact on entertainment and pop culture. Fun monsters, scary monsters, monsters for kids, classic monsters…they’ve become part of the fabric of our culture. Plus, it’s a little-known fact that some of the best Monster Makers live and work here in Greeley, so decided to create a day to celebrate everything about monsters. Best of all, proceeds from Monster Day Greeley will go to help “Don’t Be A Monster”, a nonprofit organization that offers unique and entertaining anti-bullying to students.
