Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Saturday, June 14th, 2025.We are waking up to sunny skies in the Gallatin Valley and a weekend buzzing with activity. If you are looking for something to do tonight, downtown Bozeman is the place to be as the beloved Downtown Bozeman Art Walk series kicks off for the summer. Local galleries, shops, and the Emerson Center for the Arts will open their doors from six to eight this evening, offering live music, refreshments, and a chance to meet local artists. Whether you are an art enthusiast or just enjoy a lively Friday evening stroll, you won't want to miss this monthly tradition that runs every second Friday through September.For those planning to be out and about downtown this weekend, keep in mind there could be some added foot traffic and possibly a few detours due to the anticipated “No Kings” protest happening throughout the region tomorrow. Organizers expect the event to remain peaceful, with participants advocating for democratic principles and accountability. If you live or work near Main Street, you may want to adjust your travel plans or allow extra time for parking. Businesses will remain open, but you can expect a steady stream of engaged citizens taking part, so plan accordingly and remember to stay hydrated if you choose to join the demonstration or simply observe from the sidelines.In other city news, Bozeman was recently welcomed into Montana’s Main Street Program, joining other communities in strengthening vibrant downtowns and supporting local businesses. The city is also celebrating a green upgrade this summer, as all downtown hanging flower baskets are now earth planters, which means less water use and a more sustainable cityscape.For those interested in the arts beyond the Art Walk, there is also the Connections 2025 ballet performance happening this weekend, offering a showcase by local dancers and choreographers sure to delight audiences of all ages.A quick update on public safety: Bozeman Police made an arrest this week on a federal probation warrant, and nearby Logan is reviewing proposals for a new shooting range, sparking conversation about safety and recreation in our growing community.Finally, if you are traveling west or planning an adventure, the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park is scheduled to open June 16th, just in time for summer road trips.That’s your Bozeman Local Frequency for today. Whether you are soaking up the arts, getting involved in civic life, or just enjoying the Montana sunshine, we hope you have a wonderful weekend. This has been Bozeman Local Frequency.
