We can’t think of a better way to celebrate summer than by enjoying a good old-fashioned street fair. Montana always has plenty to choose from, one of which is rapidly approaching. The annual Bigfork Festival of the Arts is a fantastic way to celebrate local artists while celebrating the sense of community the Treasure State is known for.

Bigfork is a ridiculously charming little town in Flathead County.

It's known for its beautiful, vibrant Christmas decorations that the entire town comes together to work on. But summer is also the perfect time to visit.
The Bigfork Festival of the Arts is a well-attended weekend-long celebration of fun, food, friendship, and of course, art.
