The Bozeman area has exploded in recent years, bringing with it a broadened local business scene and plenty of new residents to support it. Though the many housing projects being erected remain out of reach for most, there’s still plenty of ways to revel in the casual mountain culture of the Gallatin Valley without breaking the bank.
Whether taking in the latest stage production or touring musical act, wining and dining the incredible food scene, patronizing local shops and service providers, or getting out in the natural playground that surrounds us, there are so many opportunities to recognize all our area has to offer.
The time has come to once again come together as a community to reward the efforts of local proprietors and event promoters, name our preferred outdoor activities and natural hotspots. Every vote counts during this annual salute to Bozeman and beyond.
Beginning July 1st, the polls will open for the 24th Annual Best of Bozeman. The friendly local competition is the original celebration of everything we love about our town and its seemingly infinite offerings. And while The BoZone sponsors the poll every year, it’s each voter who decide the winners in each category. This is an opportunity for Southwest Montanans of all ages to have their say in the crowning of area establishments, whether first-time winners or defending champs.
This year’s voting will again consist of a multiple choice format, displaying area favorites from previous surveys and the option to add a choice not listed. While there are many categories to represent our area’s finest, voters can decide the winners of as many or as few titles as they please.
Make it a point to give recognition to your favorite food and beverage venues, service industries, live entertainers, small businesses, nonprofits, other local destinations, and so much more. Continuing the tradition, it’s up to each and every one of you to acknowledge Bozeman’s crème de la crème. Log on to www.bestofbozeman.com to peruse the complete list of 2024 winners and to make your picks. The 2025 Best of Bozeman voting window is July 1st through August 15th. •
