    Dec 29 2025
    Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Monday, December 29th. What a weekend to kick off the week, folks, with some high-profile buzz right here in our backyard. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance dropped in for a surprise visit, touching down at Bozeman Airport Friday afternoon and jetting out Saturday on Air Force Two. Temporary flight restrictions had the FAA buzzing, and locals caught videos of the departure, sparking all sorts of curiosity about what brought him to the Gallatin Valley, maybe a quick ski or some quiet reflection amid the holiday snow.

    Shifting gears to today, the funs just heating up as we slide toward New Years.

  • Winter driving, ice skating, and a lively Bozeman nightlife - your Sunday local update.

    Winter driving, ice skating, and a lively Bozeman nightlife - your Sunday local update.
    Dec 28 2025
    Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Sunday, December 28, 2025.

    Waking up around the valley today, expect a true winter driving day if you are heading out on I 90. Multiple incidents have been reported on the eastbound side, including a semi blocking the right lane near the Bozeman exit and a crash closer to Manhattan. Roads are snow covered, so if you are commuting or heading to the slopes, give yourself extra time, slow it down, and move over for first responders working those scenes.

    If you are staying in town, Bozeman is offering plenty to do as we coast toward the New Year. The Gallatin County Fairgrounds remain a winter hub, with public skate sessions at Ressler Rink giving families, college kids, and beer league hopefuls a chance to stretch their legs on the ice. It is a great way to burn off cabin fever and get some fresh, cold air without driving to the mountain.

    As evening rolls in, the nightlife calendar is stacked. Local bars and venues are leaning into that between holidays energy with live music, karaoke, and dancing. Spots like Bourbon in Bozeman and The Jump down in Gallatin Gateway are hosting country dancing and sing along nights, while the Haufbrau, Bozeman Taproom, and Eagles are giving local bands and singer songwriters a stage and a crowd. It is a good night to support working musicians and your favorite bartenders before the New Year’s rush.

    Comedy fans can look toward Last Best Comedy and the Ellen Theatre’s winter programming, where stand up and film events continue to give Bozeman that big city entertainment feel with small town walkability. If you are planning ahead, New Year’s Eve at the Elm will bring electronic artist SoDown to town, one of the bigger ticketed shows to ring in 2026 and a sign of just how strong Bozeman’s live music scene has become.

    Whether you are grocery shopping, grabbing a coffee on Main, or heading for the hills, keep an eye on those road conditions and take it slow today.

    Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Saturday, December 27.

    As the holiday magic lingers just a bit longer, Bozemanites are swapping twinkling lights for fresh starts with our city's Christmas tree recycling kicking off today. Head to the Softball Complex off Haggerty Lane, Gallatin Valley Regional Park near the BMX tracks via Oak Street, or Christie Fields on East Mason to drop off your real tree, undecorated and whole, through February. These evergreens will transform into nutrient-rich compost and mulch, nourishing our local parks and keeping landfills lighter, proving even festive symbols can fuel community green spaces year-round.[1]

    While you're out, bundle up for some family fun at Bozeman Pond Park on South Fowler Avenue, where the Literacy Trail awaits all ages for free imaginative adventures today. Or swing by the Bozeman Public Library at 626 East Main for Family Storytime from 10:15 to 11, a cozy hour of tales perfect for little ones birth to five and their grown-ups.[4]

    Excitement is buzzing at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport as Bobcat faithful gear up for Montana State's national championship showdown in Nashville. With team and band charters plus extra flights from Sun Country, United, and Southwest, expect record crowds around New Year's, pushing passenger numbers to 20,000 or more over those peak days. Tickets are steep, over $1,200 round-trip for some connections, but the roar of victory could make it worth every penny for fans dreaming of glory.[3]

    Tonight, shake off the post-Christmas chill at The Jump in Gallatin Gateway with Country Dance Nights starting at 7, where live tunes and boot-scootin' keep the energy high into the wee hours.[6] Meanwhile, the Montana History LEGO Challenge at the public library invites builders of all ages to craft historic Montana scenes using free bricks, sparking creativity tied to our rugged past.[8]

    Looking ahead to New Year's Eve, Bozeman's calendar explodes with options: a kid-friendly Countdown to Noon at 10:30 at the Emerson Center, public skating at 11:15 at Ressler Rink, family dances at the Bozeman Senior Center, and epic nights like SoDown at The Elm or Peter King Trio at the Old Saloon in Emigrant.

  • Bozeman's Christmas Day: Free meals, winter driving safety, and outdoor adventures.

    Bozeman's Christmas Day: Free meals, winter driving safety, and outdoor adventures.
    Dec 25 2025
    Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Thursday, December 25, 2025.

    Bozeman is waking up to a cozy Christmas Day, and around town the focus is on food, family, and getting outside. If you or someone you know could use a warm holiday meal, the team at HRDC’s Fork and Spoon is hosting a free Christmas dinner this afternoon from 4 to 6 p.m. on East Griffin Drive. They are prepared to serve up to about 200 guests, no cost, no questions, with volunteers and local donors helping put a full holiday spread on the table, right down to a crowd favorite green bean casserole.

    On the roads today and through New Year’s, expect to see more blue lights. Bozeman Police have stepped up patrols to crack down on impaired driving after data showed roughly a third of Montana’s fatal crashes in 2023 involved an alcohol‑impaired driver. Officers are emphasizing that winter conditions are already hazardous, and they are urging everyone to plan a sober ride, use a designated driver, or call a ride service if they are celebrating.

    If you are looking for an outing with kids or visiting family, the Museum of the Rockies is closed for Christmas Day, but it will reopen on its regular schedule tomorrow, so you can start planning that dinosaur and planetarium fix for later in the week.

    For something free, easy, and outdoors today or this weekend, Bozeman Pond Park’s Literacy Trail just got a fresh book installation. Pages of the bilingual picture book “Ten Dogs,” or “Diez Perros,” are posted along the ADA‑accessible path, making it a simple way to combine a walk with a story for kids, grandparents, or even your actual dog.

    If you are itching for some evening fun beyond town, The Jump out in Gallatin Gateway continues its regular event lineup this week, including bingo nights and country dance nights, a good option if you are entertaining guests and want live music and dancing.

    And for those heading into the hills over the next few days, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has confirmed a grizzly bear sighting in the Bangtail Range east of Bozeman, a reminder to pack bear spray, travel in groups, and keep food and garbage secured, even in the winter.

  • Bozeman Holiday Happenings: Noel Concert, Winter Storm, and Community Generosity

    Bozeman Holiday Happenings: Noel Concert, Winter Storm, and Community Generosity
    Dec 24 2025
    Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 24th.

    Start your Christmas Eve with some holiday warmth as Montana PBS airs the enchanting Noel concert from Montana State University at 7pm tonight. Featuring the MSU Symphony Orchestra and student choirs performing winter music from around the world, recorded live at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, its a perfect way to gather the family and soak in festive tunes that capture our Gallatin Valley spirit, reminding us why Bozeman feels like home during the holidays.

Temperatures stay above normal through the week, but bundle up for any pockets of freezing rain.

    On the giving front, Montana state employees smashed records with over 10,500 pounds of food donated to the Montana Food Bank Network this holiday season, led by the Department of Health and Human Services. That generosity means more meals for neighbors in need right here in Bozeman, turning community kindness into real impact at local pantries and senior centers.

    For fun today, swing by Bozeman Pond Park for the free Literacy Trail, a kid-friendly adventure blending stories and fresh air, or catch Journey Church Christmas Worship services at noon, 2pm, and 4pm at The Commons on Baxter Lane. As evening hits, dive into nightlife with Drink and Draw from 6 to 8pm at Valhalla Meadery, live music by Logan Dudding at Tune Up Bar, or swing lessons at The Jump in Gallatin Gateway starting at 7pm. No cover at most spots, perfect for unwinding with friends.

    Looking ahead, Bridger Bowl opens Christmas Day from 10am to 4pm, no shuttle though, and theyre gearing up for Thursdays torchlight parade with fireworks to ring in the new year. Plenty more brews, dances, and family events through the weekend at places like Belgrade Senior Center and The Murray Bar.
