It might be Friday the 13th this weekend, but we’re nothin’ but lucky to be here! There’s a plethora of live music, outdoor events, and cool stuff to do, and we’re here to help. All the fun happenings around Western Montana are here with The MUG’s Father’s Day Weekend PICKS!

Downtown ToNight celebrates the official grand opening of the new Caras Park Riverfront Terrace, with featuring the Missoula Makers Collective Market, food trucks and live music in Downtown Missoula with expanded hours 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm Thursday Nights June thru August (live music starts at 5:30 pm). Tonight’s band is the Blue Point Band.

Backcountry Hunters & Anglers return to host the Backcountry Brewfest fundraiser with Montana craft beers, live music, food trucks, raffles and lawn games at Caras Park in Downtown Missoula 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm Friday.

There’s no rain in the forecast…no, really – Logjam Presents welcomes Blind Melon for a live concert performance with the Sasha Bell Band at The Wilma in Downtown Missoula at 8:00 pm Friday. (We promise, that’s our only groaner dad joke hiding in here.)

The farmers’ market season is well underway, including Columbia Falls and Ronan on Thursday, Polson and Saint Ignatius on Friday, and all the ones in Downtown Missoula, Hamilton, Kalispell, Stevensville, Arlee, and Hot Springs on Saturday morning. On Sunday, there are new farmers markets starting up in Columbia Falls and Ronan to check out.

The MUG’s Western Montana Summer Farmers Markets guide is ready to help – save the link and get around to all of ’em over the next several months.

It’s a total horsepower extravaganza all day at the Five Valley Power Rally featuring Tough Trucks, Dirt Drags, Dyno and Sled Pull at Muralt’s Travel Plaza at the Wye starting at 8:00 am Saturday.

Visit Downtown Hamilton for the monthly Culture Crawl – featuring local Montana artists, music, poetry reading, author signings and more from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm Saturday.

Logjam Presents welcomes St. Paul & The Broken Bones and The Wood Brothers for a live concert performance with special guest Cece Coakley at KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner at 7:00 pm Saturday.

We have around 50 live music events listed for the weekend – take your pick! It’s officially patio season now. You can’t go wrong with seeking out any and all of the fantastic area rooftop bars and outdoor patios to soak in this fantastic spring Montana weather.

No matter what direction you wanna get outta town, you can’t go wrong. Lots of spring 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 & 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 area markets. Take the family for a brisk outdoor hike – the wildflowers are blooming in prime time. Conditions everywhere are perfect just about everywhere for mountain bike riding. Spring fishing is rockin’. 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.

If there’s not love present, it’s much, much harder to function.
When there’s love present, it’s easier to deal with life.
