Stadium gates will open at 6:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showing. Tickets are available to purchase in advance from the PaddleHeads website (https://www.milb.com/missoula/ballpark/centerfield-cinema) or the night of each showing at the Ogren Park Allegiance Field box office.

DIRTY DANCING: It’s the summer of 1963, and the Housman family is gearing up for yet another dull summer in the Catskills. For Baby, the youngest member of the Housman clan, it’s just another detour on the way to college and the Peace Corps. But from the first night Baby lays eyes on her dance instructor, the magnificent Johnny Castle, it’s clear that this year is going to be different. With a great retro soundtrack and some of the most iconic scenes of the eighties, not to mention the godlike physique of Patrick Swayze, Dirty Dancing is a nostalgia powerhouse.

Pet Fest will celebrate the 15th year with a covid-free virtual online event with extended days from August 21st through 23rd. The event will feature online adoptions from shelters and rescues, shopping with local pet related businesses and a first time $500 CASH GRAND PRIZE for best contest video.
Pet Fest is well known as a day filled with family oriented education, contests, shopping and cuddly pet adoptions. This August, the sound of barking dogs will be floating out of your laptop speakers, instead of Caras Park, at the virtual version of Montana’s largest adoption event and pet festival.
Event organizers are focusing on creating an online experience that preserves the spirit of Pet Fest, while promoting community partners. Co-owner of Marketplace Media and Events, Megan Pfaff, says, “We feel it is the ethical and the responsible choice to make. It was a hard decision to cancel our in-person events this year, but we hold ourselves and our events to the highest safety standards and take our responsibility to our community very seriously.”
Visitors to the virtual event are encouraged to enter video contests with the traditional prizes to be won, the coveted Olympic Medals plus prizes from local businesses. But this year there is an additional GRAND PRIZE of $500 for the video with the most overall votes! The Best Dressed, Best Frisbee Catch, Best Obedience Demo, Best Trick, Funniest Pets and Unusual Pet categories are now open. Voting begins at 7am on Friday, August 21st and ends at 10pm on Sunday, August 23rd with winners announced on Monday, August 24th.

Online Event #virtualmissoula
MASS FM formed in the fall of 2013, features former-members of the Volumen, Victory Smokes and Flying Rickshaw, and is (arguably) Missoula’s best dad band. MASS FM plays groove-heavy, dance-friendly post-punk and counts Fugazi, INXS, Queens of the Stone Age and Steely Dan among their many collective influences (but please don’t bring it up, Steely Dan is highly contentious).
MASS FM is Chris, Christopher, Doug and Ryan. MASS FM released their latest EP, What Will Divide Us Is Love, in May 2019 (which has a Mu chord or two, but please don’t tell Doug it sounds like Steely Dan).
Watch their live performance from the comfort of your own home, and donate a few $$ to the ZACC while you’re at it! The ZACC pays out 70% of all funds raised to performers or a charity of their choice.
