It's that time of year - spring rainfall and the last of mountain snowmelt combine for flooding conditions on Montana rivers. The Jefferson River is now under a Flood Advisory.
Known as the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly - a weekend to honor those military personnel who died while serving our country - Memorial Day Weekend is packed with events for the entire family. The Bozeman area offers tons of choices to satisfy both ends of the spectrum.
Bozeman loves to be different. It also loves anything retro. There's a new transportation method that hits both qualities and we're betting you'll be seeing it on Bozeman streets sometime soon. A two person bike, anyone?
Sure, I'm stretching the definition of 'town' a bit but 'census designated place' doesn't have much personality. Montana is the perfect state to search for super small towns that have real charm and/or something pretty cool in their backyard.
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.
