It’s been a tough end to our beautiful Montana summer, but despite our state’s wildfires, there’s still a lot to celebrate with the coming season. Taking yourself to one of our local harvest festivals is a great way to embrace autumn’s arrival.
Luckily, there’s a harvest festival in practically every region of the Treasure State:
On September 16, the Montana Wilderness Association will host the third annual Kootenai Harvest Festival at Riverfront Park. Admission is free, and you can enjoy a delicious locally grown dinner for $10. Live music and children's activities make it fun for the whole family.
On October 14, downtown Billings will welcome fall with their annual HarvestFest at 2nd Ave. and Broadway. Celebrate with arts and crafts, games, fresh produce, pumpkins, pies, live music and plenty of other entertainment.

There is always a chili cook-off, and last year there was a Dutch oven cook-off. In other words, come hungry.
Autumn is such a beautiful time of year in Montana. Make sure you add a harvest festival or two to your fall bucket list.
