In late July, there’s something really special that happens in the Montana ranching community of White Sulphur Springs. At the Red Ants Pants Music Festival, folks from far and wide gather in a cow pasture for four nights and three days of music, community, and awe-inspiring sunsets. In the last five years, outstanding musical talent such as The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, Keb’ Mo’, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Corb Lund, and Charley Pride have played the White Sulphur stage. 2015 marked the biggest festival to date with more than 14,000 in attendance.
The festival is more than good folks getting together to enjoy great music. A portion of the proceeds from the festival go to the Red Ants Pants Foundation, which has given more than $45,000 to people and projects that embody its mission of fostering self-reliance, women’s leadership, and promoting our working family farms and ranches. The festival and the foundation have injected millions of dollars to the Montana economy and reinvigorated the rural ranching community of White Sulphur. The 2016 Lineup will be released on April 2nd and tickets go on sale the same day. The festival will be held July 28th-31st at the Jackson Ranch just outside of White Sulphur Springs.
