Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Monday, October 20th, 2025. As the fall colors hit their peak, Bozeman wakes up to another picture-perfect day under crisp skies and a gentle breeze, with highs around 61 and just a hint of chill to remind us winter’s on its way. If you’re looking for ways to shake off the Monday blues, downtown Bozeman is buzzing with activity. Main Street encourages folks to take a stroll, pop into the growing number of local coffee shops and bakeries, and maybe enjoy an outdoor patio before the cold fully settles in. Today kicks off Montana State University’s Homecoming Week, and students are getting into spirit with the annual Window Decorating Contest—so watch for some festive artwork popping up on local storefronts over the next several days.For those keeping an eye on the city’s future, tonight’s City Commission meeting will address a big topic: the proposed expansion of the Sourdough fire station. The move would boost response times in Bozeman’s southeast neighborhoods and support the area’s growing population. Locals are invited to attend or tune in, as it’s a chance to weigh in on how Bozeman prepares for the challenges brought by growth—a consistent headline these days with the city’s population now topping 60,000.Speaking of growth, the new trails near Peets Hill are officially open for foot traffic. Trail crews wrapped up the last phase over the weekend, so hikers, mountain bikers, and dog walkers can now enjoy expanded routes and improved scenic lookouts. The project was made possible by a mix of city funding and local donations, and early reviews from walkers say the new views are absolutely worth the climb.In arts and culture, the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture is hosting its October Open Studios event this evening, where artists invite the public into their workspaces. It’s a rare chance to see everything from pottery to paintings in progress, talk with creators, and maybe pick up a new favorite piece. Also tonight, the Rialto kicks off their fall film series with a screening of Montana-made short films, highlighting local directors and actors. On the business beat, Bozeman’s downtown food scene continues to expand, and today marks the soft opening of Sweetgrass, a new farm-to-table bistro with a locally inspired menu. The owners say their goal is to keep everything as fresh and Montana-sourced as possible, from bison burgers to huckleberry desserts. Reservations are recommended as the buzz is strong.Before you wrap up your day, remember that Bozeman’s Community Co-op hosts its monthly “Meet the Producers” event tonight from five to seven. Local growers will be on hand to talk about fall harvests and offer samples from the season’s best—think apples, squash, and hearty root vegetables.Whether you spend your day soaking up the arts, getting outside, or connecting over good food, Bozeman has plenty to offer as we roll into late October. Don’t forget to check in on the latest roadwork updates, as East Main construction continues and commuters are asked to use side streets whenever possible.That’s a wrap for your Monday morning in Bozeman.
