Held in Bozeman since 1978, Sweet Pea is a three-day festival of the arts. This year’s Festival dates are August 4th, 5th and 6th with other events like Chalk on the Walk and Bite of Bozeman kicking things off earlier in the week. The festival includes everything from music, theatre and dance, to children’s activities and adult painting workshops. Sweet Pea is committed to its mission of “promoting and cultivating the arts.”
Hundreds of volunteers run and organize this annual event, a testament to the community’s desire for its ongoing success. Following operational costs, all money raised is given back to the community in the form of grants for the arts, art education, and special projects in the Bozeman area. Where art and community meet. •
