Summer is a Time to Celebrate Community
There is something really special about the summer season in Red Lodge. The warm warmer weather nudges us to hit the trails, linger a little longer on local outdoor patios, and soak up all the things that make our community so unique.
This summer, there are a lot of opportunities to come together at several community events. All of these events are a celebration of who we are as a community- connected, resilient, and supportive of friends and neighbors. We hope you will join us at one or all of them!
Montana Shakespeare in the Parks
Wednesday, July 19th at 6:30pm
Lions Park
Montana Shakespeare in the Parks will join us again on July 19 at 6:30pm in Lions Park for another free community performance. Their 51st season. For the 1st time in a long time, it will not be Shakespeare, but the 3 Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. For the 2nd time, the One Legged Magpie will provide a Bar, and we will have a popcorn truck from BIL this year. Bring your lawn chairs. Fun for the whole family.
