I love that we have a steady stream of beloved summertime staples sprinkled throughout these summer months, and this weekend we've got not one but two beloveds to enjoy! As you read on, you'll find our top 4 picks for the weekend, but it's worth mentioning that as June readies to wind down (didn't school just get out?!), 406 Pride is also wrapping a week full of PRIDE festivities and resources, Downtown Billings has a detailed schedule, here.
For a full look at what's happening around town this weekend (and there are quite a few goodies beyond what you see here), you'll want to check out the calendar. In the meantime...
