From retreats to weddings, Butler Creek Lodge will create a joyous backdrop.

A year has only four seasons, and Missoula makes the most of each one. Whether the weather is warm or cool, hot or just plain cold, plan to be entertained year-round in the Garden City.

Several major events Missoula celebrates include the International Wildlife Film Festival, Out to Lunch, Downtown ToNight, International Choral Festival, Farmer's Market, Saturday Arts and Crafts Market, First Night Missoula, Irish Cultural Celebration, Germanfest, and numerous others. Performing arts include Missoula Children's Theater, Missoula Symphony, and The University of Montana performing arts.
