Rotary Great Bear Festival - August 5, 2023

The 6th Annual Rotary Great Bear Festival will be held in Downtown Kalispell on August 5th, 2023!

Come celebrate summer in the Flathead Valley! Local Rotary groups are bringing in breweries and cideries from Montana and beyond to feature over 50 craft beers and ciders along with wine, local food, and live music.
 
Enjoy live music from Music Lab and Flat Black!
 
Adults can enjoy an exclusive VIP tent next to the bands featuring free beer and wine plus food from The DeSoto Grill and other appetizers.
