Montana

This might be the most "Montana" festival we've ever heard of, and it's happening June 23rd through 25th. Celebrating ranching and land stewardship, the weekend will be packed with Americana music, expert guest speakers, vendors, and chef curated wood-fired food in Helmville, Montana.

For people who are new to the Bozeman area, you've no doubt noticed the not always pleasant welcome from old school residents. You have to understand the wild growth and associated problems that have accompanied said growth. Bozeman locals can be a little salty, especially when behind the safety of a keyboard.

Dave's Sushi in Bozeman has been closed since April 20th, with the Gallatin City-County Health Department starting an investigation into a foodborne illness.

Very unhealthy air is blowing into Montana from Canada, with Dense Smoke Advisories being issued on Wednesday for several counties in northeast Montana.

A little folk, a little rock, a little Americana, and a whole lot of cool is what you'll get on Sunday night at The ELM on North 7th with Fruit Bats. This show is another do-not-miss, especially if you've never seen them live.

As of this writing, I have not been there yet but everyone else I know has. Have you ever heard of The Sassy Biscuit Company? You'll find it in Billings and yes...it's apparently worth an overnight if you don't live there. For those of us who take our breakfasts and brunches seriously, this joint is church.

If buying a home in Montana has become a pipedream due to soaring real estate prices, take solace in the fact there are several small communities where you can still get a single family home for about $100K. In fact, we found a surprising number of affordable options across Montana.

It's a very busy weekend in the Gallatin Valley and it's also Mother's Day Weekend. Grab mom or some friends and enjoy some of the fun events happening. Music, crafts, fun runs, celebrations, and more.

"Aggressive river rise" due to several inches of rain is in store for counties in eastern Montana, with possible flooding through Friday night. Creeks, streams, and rivers are all at risk and residents should keep a close eye on powerful weather cells.

It's happening THIS Saturday, May 13th at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds and this brew fest is special. It features only Montana brewed beers so you're sure to walk away from this incredibly fun event an expert on Montana beers. Keep in mind, there's a lot of them!

Dark Side of the Moon, live, at one of the coolest outdoor concert venues in America? Yes, please. Pinky and the Floyd will be celebrating 50 years of the most iconic album in history on June 24th, and you should be there to see it. It's gonna get weird in the best possible way.

This show is a 'do-not-miss' event in downtown Bozeman. Tickets are a bargain and the Armory Music Hall is a fantastic place to catch a band like American Aquarium. Get a sitter if you need one, make some dinner plans, and then enjoy one of the most talented groups in the alt-country-rock space. It's going to be fun.
