38th Annual Lewis & Clark Festival

The Lewis & Clark Festival comes to life every June with the kind of energy that sweeps you straight into the spirit of exploration.
This year, we’re kicking things off on Friday, June 19 at 6:00 p.m. with a BBQ with our friends from Clark & Lewie's enjoy a relaxed, welcoming evening set right on the Center grounds with a breathtaking view of the Missouri River.
Dinner will feature a mouthwatering Bison Burger, your choice of fresh salads, lemonade and iced tea, and a warm serving of homemade apple crisp topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Donnie and his staff will make sure you’re well taken care of from the first hello to the last bite.
Expect music drifting through the summer air, easy conversation, shared memories, and a chance to gather in fellowship—all while supporting the educational mission of the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. Tickets for this fundraising BBQ are limited, call 406-899-7993 to reserve your seat. Tickets are $50.00 and guests will enjoy a few fun surprises too!
Starting at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 20th history bursts to life as the swivel gun echoes across the grounds and living‑history camps invite you to step straight into 1805. Visitors can explore hands‑on displays, enjoy theater talks, browse Montana artisans, sample local food trucks, and discover something new around every corner. At 2:00p.m the Grammy award winning Black Lodge Singers will be performing with singing, dancing and an unforgettable drum circle experience.
Guests will wander between interactive activities, Native cultural performances, art, storytelling, and the ever‑popular Adventure Challenge, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Giant Springs and the Missouri River. It’s not just a festival—it’s an immersive celebration of culture, curiosity, and community pride, where every moment feels like rediscovering the frontier all over again.
