Billings Events

You could describe the summer of 2020 in a lot of ways, but I'll throw out my suggestion: the summer of strong opinions.

The annual Ales for Trails fundraiser will be held virtually this year (because of COVID-19) and instead of the big celebration and party at ZooMontana, Billings TrailNet will be selling punch cards for pints of beer at Montana's favorite breweries.

Burn the Point is a go for 2020, with the parade on Friday, Sept. 4th and the car show at MetraPark on Saturday, Sept. 5th.

In a press release today (8/13) the Alberta Bair Theater announced their first scheduled event since the historic venue closed for renovations last year.

The inaugural First Responder's Appreciation Day is on the calendar for August 22. The event features a variety of fun activities and funds raised will help provide "items of comfort" (i.e. stuffed animals, blankets, etc) for kids who encounter law enforcement, EMT's and the fire…

With a goal of raising $120,000 for construction of our community-wide trail system, Billings TrailNet is getting creative this year with their fundraiser.

Billings Police arrested one suspect in connection with a shooting on Thursday (8/6), and now the Yellowstone County Sheriffs Office is asking the public for help in apprehending a second individual that may have been involved.

In a year overflowing with cancellations and postponements, it's refreshing to see something on the calendar for this weekend in Downtown Billings. The annual Crazy Days event kicked off today (8/6) and runs through Sunday (8/9).

The Billings Food Bank is hosting their Farm to Trunk food distribution event today (7/29) through Friday (7/31) from 10 am to 3 pm. Fresh produce, eggs, beef and chicken are just a few of the items available.

Before you look at the headline and move on- I want you to know that this isn't your typical, "hey, check out this cool event coming up" type of story. I think even those of you who can't make it to Billings for this event will be interested in our conversation.
