ON THE MISSISSIPPI MONTICELLO COMMUNITY GUIDE 2024
Welcome to Monticello on the Mississippi
Welcome to Monticello — a growing community located along the mighty Mississippi River and Interstate 94 .
Monticello is a community rich in history and character — from cutting-edge businesses in the industrial parks , a robust community arts program , a historic downtown and a bustling retail market that makes it a shopping hub . With a comprehensive growth plan in place , the community ’ s future looks bright .
Monticello ’ s population , at just under 15,000 residents , makes it one of the largest cities in Wright County . Geographically , Monticello is about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis — just far enough away from the big city to maintain its charm .
Monticello is home to a state-of-the-art community center , which features fun for the entire family , including a fitness center , pool and water slide , gymnasium and climbing wall .
Entertainment abounds for all ages , as the city is also home to the River City Extreme bowling alley and arcade , the Emagine multi-screen movie theater and summer concerts along the Mississippi River , along with open skating at Moose-Sherritt Ice Arena .

Each July , the RiverFest community festival includes a traditional parade , fireworks display , arts and crafts fair , a live concert , car show and more .
Nature lovers can enjoy beautiful Lake Maria State Park , Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park and Montisippi County Park , along with several riverfront parks too , including Ellison Park , West Bridge Park and East Bridge Park .
Health care is located at CentraCare Monticello Hospital , CentraCare ’ s specialty clinic and Stellis Health . There are several facilities for senior living and assisted living .
City residents are protected by the dedicated deputies of the Wright County Sheriff ’ s Office and the Monticello Fire Department . Along with sound public safety are top-notch schools , an accessible government and inviting church communities of all denominations .
What a special , vibrant community we have here — and it ’ s that sense of community that makes Monticello a wonderful place to live , work and play along the Mississippi .
