2026 Volume
The first volume of Holdfast Magazine launched in June 2026. Contributors were asked to tell a story and show how Monterey is home.
What started as a small project to celebrate the art and creation in our community grew day by day into Volume 1 of Holdfast Magazine. With overwhelming community support, we celebrated the launch of Holdfast Magazine and first access to Volume 1 at Oak Newton Park in Monterey with magazine contributors, community, family, and friends from across Central California.
Thank you to all the contributors and supporters of Holdfast Magazine Volume 1. It would not have been possible without you.
