WELCOME TO THE 17TH ANNUAL RIVER CITY ROOTS FESTIVAL!
This free admission event is Missoula’s Signature Celebration and highlights all of the amazing things that make Missoula, Missoula: music, art, culture, local food and drinks, active lifestyles, and community.
As the Heartbeat of Missoula, Downtown is the perfect setting for Roots Fest. Downtown is where you’ll find local businesses, local flavors, local art, and local people all coming together. We invited you to not only experience Roots Fest, but be sure to take some time to take a walk around the historic epicenter of the city we love.
On behalf of our Downtown business, the Downtown Missoula Partnership welcomes you to Roots Fest – we hope you enjoy everything our event, and Downtown, has to offer!
