The 4th of July Parade brings thousands to the village of Bigfork.
People are usually amazed to find out how much is going on in the area. Just check the local papers and you’ll find something going on in every town in NW Montana’s Flathead Valley that is cultural, sporting, nature or civic related.
Check out 102 Things to Do in Western Montana + Glacier Park published by Glacier Country Tourism. Peruse through the list and you’ll find an endless supply a great activities and seasonal adventures. But remember there is nothing wrong with grabbing a book and just relaxing on the hammock.
