Celebratory weekend festival supports a healthy Gallatin River
Gallatin River Task Force will present the Gallatin River Festival with events beginning June 28th and running through June 30th in Big Sky. Refreshed and refocused for 2019, the festival connects the community to the rivers, fish, and riparian habitats vital to a healthy Gallatin River. Event proceeds support conservation and restoration efforts by the Task Force within the Upper Gallatin River Watershed. Last year, the festival invested $100,000 in a healthy Gallatin River for future generations.
