We offer produce, crafts, jams and jellies, baked goods, jewelry, flowers and other items. All the produce at the market comes from within Orchard Homes and travels less than a mile to get to market! Now, THAT is fresh!
If you want to get to know your farmer, this is a great market to do that! There is a great community between all the vendors and we LOVE our customers.

We are so stoked to say that Thursday Night Race League is still happening! Whitefish Mountain Resort is still the place to race mountain bike on Thursday nights!
That being said we do have some new pandemic precaution’s in place now- The State of Montana has extended group gatherings to 50 people, so we are limiting each race to 40 racers. Therefore we are also asking that you please limit bringing friends and family members to the race with you in an effort to not go over the maximum number of people allowed by the Flathead County Health Dept.
Online registration opens each week on Monday at 8am and closes at 5:00pm on race day. With only 40 weekly entries available, this will help ensure those who register actually have the time to race that week.
There will be no food this year, but our sponsors are coming on with great raffles and prizes.

- Comedians will each have their own mics.

Open AIR Artist Talk with Visiting Artist Cristina Victor
Bonner Park
1798 Ronald Ave
Missoula, Montana 59801
Join us for an Artist Talk by visiting artist-in-residence Cristina Victor at the Band Shell in Bonner Park. Learn more about her practice as a visual artist and her flag making project and collaboration with Montana Museum of Art and Culture, Missoula Parks & Rec and Open AIR.
Cristina Victor is a Cuban-American artist who’s making always stems from the hyphen. Her interdisciplinary practice materializes storytelling, meditations on the failure and power of language, auto-ethnography, and critiques the framing of identity by mass media outlets. Using performance, textiles, sculpture, installation, and public engagement she is committed to creating and facilitating generative exchanges about the complexities of our collective and individual human experience. Vexillology, analogue graphic design and archiving act as foundational threads in her translations. Her concern for access, balances her formal object making and public engagement projects.
She received her AA from the New World School of the Arts, Her BA from Sarah Lawrence College and her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She is a transient maker and goes wherever her work takes her.
Registration is appreciated but not required for this event. To confirm your attendance please email [email protected].

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
Rests in his beauty on the water, and the great
heron feeds
I come into the peace of
the wild things
