About the event
The Whitefish Trail Hootenanny is BACK! Presented by Title Sponsor First Interstate Bank, the Whitefish Trail Hootenanny will be held on Friday August 22 in Depot Park in downtown Whitefish from 5-9:30pm. Our favorite community event celebrates our local trails and open lands with live music, local beer, food trucks, raffle, and kids activities. 100% of proceeds support the Whitefish Legacy Partners, the Whitefish Trail, and our local conservation lands.
This year, we are excited to announce our three awesome bands including well-known, local contemporary country performers Badger Hound, Minneapolis based Buffalo Galaxy with their modern take on old timin' bluegrass, and Shred Kelly, a five piece, alternative folk rock band from the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Live music is made possible by Music Sponsors Great Northern Bar & Grill and 101 Central and band lodging sponsor, the Firebrand. Stay tuned for more band, raffle, food, and beer details.
Entry Tickets are $20 pre-sale and $25 at the door. Kids 12 and under are FREE and should bring their bike and helmet to ride the kids bike obstacle course! Ticket sales open April 1.
Come celebrate the Whitefish Trail at this community event! More details on the 2025 WT Hootenanny to come!
