Hey, we’re not ready for May to be over yet – and yet, here we are. Make it great, June! The MUG has compiled the most comprehensive list of events from Thursday thru Sunday in Missoula and around Western Montana, all right here for you to make your own Weekend PICKS!
Western Montana’s farmers markets are in full swing for the season. Missoula alone has five Saturday markets, and with the the rest the area bustling with fresh local markets every day of the week and weekend. Check out The MUG’s Guide to Summer Western Montana Farmers Markets and you can see ’em all any time on The MUG Events Calendar. We’re here to help!
The annual Artists Along the Bitterroot Studio Tour Weekend runs Friday thru Sunday, with open houses all up & down Hwy 93 to meet local Montana artists, and great deals on Montana-made art.
Thursday thru Sunday is the Five Valley Kennel Club AKC All Breed Dog Show at Missoula Fairgrounds with all manner of dog judging and competitions – including Dog Dock Diving!
Night Blooming Jasmine will be playing their sweet brand of music at Bitter Root Brewing in Hamilton Thursday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. They’ll also be playing live at the Missoula Farmers Market by the XXXX’s on the north end of Higgins.

Ride your bike to the Grand Opening of Missoula’s new Tanner J. Olson Flyzone Dirt Jump Bike Park at Syringa Hills Park from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday. It’s been years in the making, and great to have another excellent place for kids (young and old) to play outside.

And then, there’ll be live music with Andrea Harsell at FINN in the Doubletree Hotel on Saturday from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

The 2nd Annual Red Neck Bash at Brewski’s in Hamilton happens on Saturday from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Dress up (or should we say dress down?), and show us your favorite Red Neck attire.
Drink some jungle juice, enjoy some food, listen to live music by Hammer Head Jack and play some Red Neck games!
The Tanner Laws Band will be playing at Missoula’s Sunrise Saloon starting at 9:00 pm Saturday.
Irish Music is playing at Wildwood Brewing in Stevensville from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm Sunday.
There are at least 70 local music shows of one kind or another in the area throughout the weekend – we have options!
No matter what direction you wanna get outta town, you can’t go wrong. Lots of springtime 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 farmers markets. Take the family for a brisk hike. Get out on the mountain bike. 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.

“I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin’ ’bout my girl (my girl)”
– The Temptations / “I’ve Got Sunshine”
