Monterey Pop Festival

Monterejski festival međunarodne pop muzike (engleski: Monterey International Pop Music Festival) ili Monterey Pop Festival je bio trodnevni koncert zabavne (rock, pop i folk) muzike, održan od 16. do 18. juna 1967. u gradu Monterey u američkoj državi Kalifornija. Organizirali su ga menadžer Lou Adler, John Phillips iz benda The Mamas & the Papas, producent Alan Pariser i publicist Derek Taylor kao svojevrsn pandan tada etabliranom Monterey Jazz Festivalu, motivirani nastojanjem da dokažu kako rock može biti umjetnička forma "dostojna" velikih kulturnih događaja. U tu svrhu su obavili detaljne pripreme riješivši niz logističkih, tehničkih i sigurnosnih problema; festival je pažljivo i intenzivno promoviran u medijima i postigao je veliki uspjeh; prosječno ga je posjetilo 55.000 ljudi, a na završnoj večeri je bilo njih 90.000 gledatelja, uglavnom hipika i drugih poklonika kontrakulture u tadašnjim SAD. Koncert je bio važan i zbog toga što su pred američkom publici prvi put nastupali izvođači Jimi Hendrix, The Who i Ravi Shankar, a crni soul pjevač Otis Redding pred pretežno bijelom publikom. Također je predstavljao i prvi veliki javni nastup Janis Joplin. Često se navodi da je sa njim, kao i nekoliko dana ranije održanim Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festivalom otpočela serija kulturnih događanja koja će kasnije postati poznata kao Ljeto ljubavi.

Za historiju muzike je Monterey Pop Festival važan zbog toga što je predstavljao prvi veliki rock festival, odnosno što je postao model za sve kasnije rock festivale, uključujući i znameniti Woodstock održan 1969. godine. Koncert je također zabilježen u dokumentarnom filmu Monterey Pop koga je snimio D. A. Pennebaker.
