If you are looking for a great time to come to Livingston,Montana Summerfest 2009 , has arrived! It is worth the effort to plan your vacation around this event. This year, the 10th annual Summerfest will be July 17, 18, 19.
Held on the banks of the Yellowstone River in Sacajawea Park, downtown Livingston, Summerfest is an outdoor music festival like no other. This years event will host famous groups like The Drifters, Ringling 5, The Max, Bop-a-Dips and The Fossils as well as many others.
Music, dancing, food, and lots of fun for families! There are vendors of food, crafts, jewelry… and a libation station!
Kids swim for free at the local pool (located in the park), face painting, basketball and lots of other kid friendly activities.
Check out the car show! Hot rods, oldies, muscle cars….you are sure to find it at Summerfest!
The bands perform in the band shell with a large “dance floor” directly in front. From there it’s wide lush green lawn to sit on. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs. You can find shade or sun. Visit the vendors at your leisure or just kick back and enjoy the view of the Absaroka Mountains while listening to the music.
There is an admission fee, but hey, the money goes back into the community to the Recreation Department and the Civic Center, which are responsible for our youth programs.
Gates open Friday from 4:00 – 10:00, Saturday 11:00-10:00 and Sunday 11:00 – 5:30. For more info go to www.livingstonsummerfest.com
