Not really secrets, but just some local tips when visiting a show outdoors in Montana:

• Have layers! When the sun sets, those temperatures can dip to 40s-50s Fahrenheit, even during the summer months.

• If bringing Sun Block, avoid bringing the spraying kind (you won’t be able to bring it in, so you would have to throw it away or take it back to your car, if you brought one.

• If you’re coming from Missoula, you can take a Shuttle from downtown. More info here.

• As of 2025, you must have a see-through bag or purse. Non-see-through fanny packs and tiny purses are still allowed.

• Chairs with legs, umbrellas, and signs are not allowed.

• Also, as of 2025, its a cashless venue, so don’t forget those credit cards if you’re planning on purchasing drinks/food.

Pre-Game the Smart Way at KettleHouse Brewery
