Does Great Falls Need A New Festival?

Festival Season Can Be All The Time

Montana hosts a large number of summer festivals with a variety of themes and homes. There are music festivals, history based or even food based that provide entertainment, information, food and usually a great time.

Montana in the past has hosted fun music events such as Red Ants Pants, Under the Big Sky, and Headwaters Country Jam.

While Great falls does have a few festivals such as the Lewis & Clark Festival held at the interpretive center, or the Arts of Fire at Paris Gibson Square Museum I think we are due for a new, exciting festival!

Why Does Great Falls Need Another Festival?

A field in the middle of nowhere or in someone’s back yard would be a great place to hold a Festival as long as there is good food and a good time!

Besides the Montana State Fair there are not a lot of large crowd drawing events. This could be a good opportunity to start one and help with tourism.
