PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 10, 2020 TACAW and Crown Mountain Park present Monterey Pop at The Drive-In! [ BASALT, Colorado — July 10, 2020 ] TACAW (The Arts Campus at Willits) and Crown Mountain Park are, once again, partnering to present a drive-in movie event. The two groups will build on the success of last month's drive-in with a screening of the concert film Monterey Pop. At the beginning of the 1967 Summer of Love, the Monterey International Pop Festival captured the decade’s spirit and ushered in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey Pop chronicles the extraordinary event and features career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, the Who, Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, and the mind-blowing Ravi Shankar. TACAW and Crown Mountain park invite the community to come together for another safe and socially-distant drive-in. This event is made possible with support from The City of Aspen and the Wheeler Opera House. Monterey Pop at the Drive-In will take place on July 24 in Crown Mountain Park. Doors open at 7:45, and the film will begin at 8:45. The running time of Monterey Pop is 79 minutes. Tickets cost $19 per car and include a bag of kettle corn from Aspen Kettle Corn. They go on sale Monday, July 13, at TACAW.org. The event is expected to sell out quickly. “TACAW is excited to work with Crown Mountain Park to bring our community back together for another shared and safe cultural experience. Our first drive-in sold out in an hour, so adding additional dates wasn’t a difficult decision. Between these drive-in events and the Wednesday Night Live busker series, TACAW and our partners continue to deliver arts and culture during these strange times. The Midvalley is the place to be this summer, with a mask, of course.” - Ryan Honey, Executive Director CONTACTS Ryan Honey Becky Wagner Executive Director, TACAW Executive Director, Crown Mountain Park [email protected], [email protected] 323.273.1890 .
