About the event
The Whitefish Trail Hootenanny is BACK! Presented by Title Sponsor First Interstate Bank, the Whitefish Trail Hootenanny will be held on Friday August 21 in Depot Park in downtown Whitefish from 5-9:30pm. Our favorite community event celebrates our local trails and open lands with live music, local beer, food trucks, raffle, and kids activities. 100% of proceeds support Whitefish Legacy Partners, the Whitefish Trail, and our local conservation lands.
This year, we are excited to announce local band favorites New Wave Time Tripper and HotDayum!. Hotdayum is a seven-piece sonic powerhouse with an electrifying mix of groove, melody, and improvisation. Based in Whitefish, Montana, they deliver a high-energy, genre-defying experience that keeps audiences on their toes and the dance floor moving. The New Wave Time Trippers of 1985 create a totally tubular 80's dance party with both a visual and music show from the decade of decadence! Live music is made possible by Music Sponsors Great Northern Bar and 101 Central.
We are excited to serve craft beer exclusively from sponsor Jeremiah Johnson Brewing Company, wine and seltzer from Blackstar and with support from Summit Beverage!
The raffle features two unrestricted, roundtrip tickets on Alaska Airlines, season ski pass to Whitefish Mountain Resort, a mountain bike from Glacier Cyclery, overnight stays at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake, the Firebrand, and the Whitefish Riverfront Hotel, day passes to Legacy Bike Park, biking equipment from Great Northern Cycle & Ski, a half day fishing charter from Whitefish Lake Charters, 1/2 day trips from Glacier Raft Company, and many more prizes! Tickets are 1 for $5, 5 for $20, or 30 for $100. You do not need to be present to win.
Kids 12 and under are FREE and should bring their bike and helmet to ride the kids bike obstacle course!.
Entry Tickets are $20 pre-sale and $25 at the door. Come celebrate the Whitefish Trail at this community event!
