📣A Final Thank You from Montrose Live Music Company

As we bring MOFEST26 to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who played a part in making this year’s festival such an incredible success.

Events like MOFEST don’t happen because of one organisation or one group of people, they happen because an entire community comes together with a shared vision, passion and pride in our town.

To our sponsors, thank you for believing in the festival and helping us bring it back to life❤️

To Police Scotland, Angus Council, and all the agencies who worked behind the scenes to ensure the event was safe, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone, thank you for your support and professionalism.

To our venues, artists, musicians, performers, traders, sound engineers, medics, security, volunteers, photographers, social media crew and event support staff, thank you for your talent, hard work and commitment. You created the atmosphere, energy and experiences that made MOFEST 2026 so special⭐️

To our local businesses, thank you for embracing the festival spirit and helping showcase everything that makes Montrose such a fantastic place to visit.

And finally, to the thousands of festival-goers who attended our high st event, supported local venues, filled our streets with laughter and music, and made the festival what it truly is, THANK YOU!

This year has shown what can be achieved when a community comes together. After too long away, MOFEST is finally back where it belongs — at the very heart of our community.

From all of us at Montrose Live Music Company, thank you for being part of MOFEST26! We couldn’t have done it without you, and we can’t wait to do it all again.

**See you at MOFEST27! **

Huge thank you to Christian at OG Creative for capturing the heart of the festival.

💛 Meet Olivia 💛

This beautiful little girl should be spending her days playing, laughing, learning, and rocking out on her pink guitar.

Instead, at just 4 years old, Olivia is preparing to fight aggressive neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer that has spread to her spine.

In the months ahead, she will face intensive chemotherapy, hospital stays, surgeries, and challenges no child should ever have to endure. Through it all, Olivia continues to show incredible courage, strength, and a smile that lights up every room.

We’re asking the MOFest community to come together and support Olivia and her mum, Alex, as they face the toughest journey of their lives.

Every donation will help ease the financial pressure of treatment, travel, accommodation, and time away from work, allowing Alex to focus on what matters most — being there for Olivia.

If you can donate, thank you. If you can’t, please share this post and help us spread the word.

💛 Let’s show Olivia that an entire community is behind her.

🌟 Kicking off Mofest 2026 in style! 🌟

A huge shoutout to 7-year-old Frankie Ferguson, who took to the stage at Salty’s alongside his dad, Craig Ferguson as part of Remedy Acoustic.

Mofest is all about supporting and showcasing young performers and artists, and Frankie certainly did us proud with his confidence and talent. 🎶👏

We think we’re seeing the beginnings of a future superstar! ⭐

Please comment on this post to show Frankie your support and encourage the next generation of local talent.

🌟 A huge thank you to another of our amazing MoFest High Street contributors, James Anderson and his fantastic team! 🌟

When James contacted us and kindly offered to provide fire safety support free of charge, we were incredibly grateful and, of course, accepted. What we didn’t expect was the incredible level of support that followed.

James and his team stayed with us throughout the entire day, helping to ensure traffic management was running smoothly, keeping an eye on the event, and even getting involved in a huge amount of litter picking.

Their hard work, dedication, and willingness to help wherever needed made a real difference to the success of MoFest. Thanks to their efforts, we were able to leave the High Street clean, tidy, and looking as though we’d never been there.

Community events like MoFest simply couldn’t happen without people like James and his team, who go above and beyond to support local organisations and bring people together.

If you’re organising a community event and need professional, reliable support, we couldn’t recommend James highly enough

From all of us at MoFest, thank you for everything you did – you were absolute stars! ⭐👏
