It’s been a tough end to our beautiful Montana summer, but despite our state’s wildfires, there’s still a lot to celebrate with the coming season. Taking yourself to one of our local harvest festivals is a great way to embrace autumn’s arrival.
Luckily, there’s a harvest festival in practically every region of the Treasure State:
- Kootenai Harvest Festival, Riverfront Park, Libby
