If you live in Big Sky country, you know that winter in Montana can be a season of extremes – but it’s also absolutely magical! From the icy outskirts of Glacier National Park to the vast, snow-dusted stretches of Montana’s quiet badlands, there’s no corner of the Treasure State that doesn’t know how to doll up and turn up for the holidays. But while there are countless winter festivals and charming Christmas events to check out around Montana every year, one recent addition to the lineup is worth a little extra hype. This winter, check out the Big Sky Winter Fest in Big Sky, Montana!
Big Sky is treasured for a million reasons, but its colorful Christmas-season charm is just one more thing to love.
