The Kitchen Dwellers in Missoula

There are plenty of concerts happening at The Wilma and The Top Hat, so I figured I would highlight one of the bigger shows of the month. The Kitchen Dwellers play at The Top Hat on Friday, April 24, and at The Wilma on Saturday, April 25.

Phlox Fest

I asked myself, "What is Phlox Fest?" when I saw it...

Rocky Mountain Gardens logo is adorned with the Missoula Phlox (Phlox missoulensis), a species of concern that has only been found within Missoula County. We chose this unassuming flower for its special link to Missoula, and as a reminder of the importance of native plant conservation.

Phlox Fest is on Saturday, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Rocky Mountain Gardens. There will be live music, food trucks, and plant and garden vendors.

Famous Montanans A-Z

We put together an A-Z guide of Famous Montanans. People count if they were born here, raised here, live here, went to school here, or have a substantial connection to Montana. We couldn't find an 'x' entry and we had to cheat on 'z' by using a first name. If you have any other recommendations, please let us know.
