“We’re excited to bring free music back to Big Sky residents and visitors,” says Brian Hurlbut, the Arts Council’s Executive Director. “Everyone missed the concerts last summer, and they are such a big part of our community.”
Grammy-winning bluegrass ensemble the Steep Canyon Rangers will open the season with a special Saturday show on July 3rd, to celebrate the grand opening of the newly designed park. The lineup continues with The Tiny Band on July 4th, The Dusty Pockets July 8th, Sneaky Pete & the Secret Weapons July 15th, Magnolia Boulevard July 22nd, Toubab Krewe July 29th, John Roberts y Pan Blanco August 5th, Dammit Lauren & the Well Aug. 12th, Laney Lou & the Bird Dogs Aug. 19th, Erica Falls Aug. 26th and The Waiting on September 2nd.

A free performance of Montana Shakes will take place at the park on July 19th, the Bravo! Big Sky Festival is set for Aug. 13th–14th, and the fifth annual Mountainfilm in Big Sky event caps the summer Sept. 10-12.
The family friendly events take place at Center Stage in Len Hill Park, one of the best outdoor venues in the state. The park opens at 6pm each week, and there will be food and beverage vendors (including alcohol) and an arts activity tent for kids. Music typically starts at 7:15pm, but please check the website for up to date details. These free community concerts have been a staple in Big Sky for more than 10 years, and this summer should add to a lengthy list of established artists that have thrilled Big Sky audiences every week.
