Comin’ at’cha! It’s our big Brawl of the Wild Griz vs Cats Football game Saturday, and The Missoula Underground is here to help you make it a winning weekend. The MUG has compiled the most comprehensive list of events in Missoula and around Western Montana, all right here for you to make your own Weekend PICKS!

Saturday is the Griz vs Cats game at Washington-Grizzly Stadium with kickoff time at 1:00 pm. If you have a ticket, all we can say is “Luckyyyy…” – we envy you! The weekend is swirling with a ton of other events that are worth taking in as well.

The 16th Annual Montana Wine & Beer Festival is at the UM Adams Center from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Friday. Re-live the beloved indie classic “Napoleon Dynamite” with three of the original stars, Jon Heder (Napoleon), Efren Ramirez (Pedro) and Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) on the 20th anniversary of the film release at the UM Dennison Theater in Missoula at 8:00 pm on Friday.

It’s not quite Thanksgiving yet, but Christmas holiday events are already bursting through the floodgates. The UM’s annual Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet performance happens Thursday at 7:00 pm at the Dennison Theatre. On Friday and Saturday, there’s the Holly Jolly Artisan Craft Show at the Daly Mansion in Hamilton. The Missoula PaddleHeads will have Turkey Curling (!) in partnership with the Missoula Curling Club and the Missoula Food Bank at Glacier Ice Rink from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm Friday. The annual Festival of Trees returns to the Ravalli County Fairgrounds in Hamilton this weekend from Saturday thru Monday. Bigfork’s Holiday Art Walk kicks off their Christmas season Saturday from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.

Logjam has another busy weekend with a free show by Warpony at The Top Hat Friday night, and then “Funksgiving 9″ for a big live 70s Dance Party / Concert at The Wilma on Saturday.

Lolo Hot Springs Resort is having their annual Adult Prom on Saturday beginning at 9:00 pm. If your high school prom didn’t go so well, or you didn’t go at all – here’s your chance to get it right!

There are over 80 local music shows of one kind or another in the area throughout the weekend… we have options!

No matter what direction you wanna get outta town, you can’t go wrong. Lots of late fall weekend activities and events are happening not only around Missoula, but all the way up the Flathead and the Bitterroot valleys, east to Phillipsburg and Anaconda, and out west past Alberton. If you’re headed up to Whitefish and Glacier, there are some outstanding pit stops to make along the way.

Get out and enjoy our locally-owned bars & restaurants with Montana grown / made food and beverages – they need your business! Try a new local brew! Support our local artists and vendors at the winter craft markets. Take the family for a crisp autumn hike. Catch a classic movie screening or a stand-up comedy night. Stretch that big brain at one of the local trivia nights. Sing your favorite karaoke song, or catch a live music show. Enjoy safely and responsibly.

Please confirm event details at the source before you go. Last minute changes are common, especially due to weather. With each event listing, we try to include a web page or event link with more information you can check for changes.

“Consistency of performance is essential. You don’t have to be exceptional every week but as a minimum you need to be at a level that even on a bad day you get points on the board.”
– Sean Dyche
