Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Thursday, July 24th. The sun rises over the Bridgers and there is a lot happening in and around Bozeman for everyone from music lovers and rodeo fans to those following the pulse of community development.Let’s begin with the buzz in Bozeman neighborhoods. The Fowler Housing Project is stirring passionate debate among residents, especially in Harvest Creek. Folks are voicing real concerns about the scale of the project, proposal for multi-story buildings near family homes, and worries about losing that cherished Montana open sky. The city officials met with the neighborhood this week to listen directly to these voices. Residents, while not against affordable housing, are pushing for a more thoughtful approach with more green space and fewer towering buildings. There’s a push to slow down the plans and make sure everyone has a say before the land is annexed and the next steps toward zoning get rolling. Whatever is decided, you can expect Bozeman’s strong community spirit to shape the future of the neighborhood.If you’re looking to soak in more of what makes this place special, there’s no shortage of things to do today. Music lovers, get your dancing shoes ready. At 6:30 tonight, you can catch The Dead and Down performing for free right in Downtown Bozeman, bringing those foot-tapping summer tunes to Main Street. Western Wallflower will play at Bodhi Farms starting at 5pm—a perfect combo if you’re craving music in an outdoor setting and maybe some farm-fresh eats.Just down the road, the Gallatin County Fairgrounds will host the Valley View Rodeo at 7pm. This family-friendly series draws locals and visitors alike for a night of fast horses, cowboy antics, and good old Montana showmanship. Bring the kids, grab a lemonade, and take in the best in barrel racing and team roping.Further afield, if you’re up for a mini road trip, the Red Ants Pants Music Festival kicks off in White Sulphur Springs. And for night owls, Bozeman venues like the Eagles Bar and Tune Up Bar are keeping the music going with karaoke and live acts into the evening.Big news for the culinary adventurers out there—Big Sky Resort has just announced a unique winter partnership with the world-renowned Alinea Group. This collaboration will bring a revolutionary four-month culinary experience to Montana this winter, uniting mountains and gourmet mastery in a way never seen before.
