Montezuma County has two live music festivals coming up, starting with Montezuma Rising on May 26th, and followed by the Dolores River Festival on the 31st. The Dolores Farmer's Market is moving to a new location this year due to demolition, and the Colorado Department of Transportation wants to remind drivers to watch for cyclists and road closures during the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. You're watching the Local News Roundup, brought to you by TruWest Auto and Choice Building Supply. I'm Connor Shreve. If you're looking to spend your weekends listening to live music, head over to Fence Line Cider in Mancos on Sunday, May 26th for Montezuma Rising, a music festival and community celebration. In addition to local music, food, and cider, this all-day event will highlight local nonprofits in Montezuma County, with all profits benefiting the Mancos Grange. Next weekend, the 18th annual Dolores River Festival is kicking off, Friday, May 31st, at the Dolores River Brewery, followed by a full day of live music on Saturday, June 1st at Joe Rowell Park. The Dolores Farmer's Market is changing locations this year due to the summer-long demolition project at Flanders Park. The Dolores Farmer's Market will be held at Joe Rowell Park this summer.
