Maggotfest Weekend at Fort Missoula Regional Park

Join the Missoula Maggots for the annual fest-ivities in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and under the Big Sky!

Maggotfest is one of the last true social rugby tournaments in the country — and it all goes down in the Last Best Place: Missoula, Montana!

Hosted by the Missoula Maggots, this legendary weekend is all about the spirit of the game, the joy of the chaos, and the camaraderie that brings teams from around the world to our mountain town. And the top team trophy isn’t just who plays best, but who parties hardest and has the best costume, no pressure — come join in the rugby, revelry, and the kind of stories you’ll tell (or try to remember) for years.

Play hard. Party harder. See you on the pitch!
