We had such a great time! Many thanks to the tireless group of volunteers that made this year's event so special. The bands were awesome and the weather was hot, or is it the other way around? The Bluegrass Jam at the end was especially memorable!

Have Fun
2009 Bluegrass on the Bay Billboard

The Bluegrass on the Bay fundraiser for the non-profit Cascade County Historical Society is striving to complete the restoration of its home, the History Museum at 422 2nd St. South in Great Falls, Montana. It is the repository of more than 100,000 objects and its goal is to preserve and promote the heritage of this beautiful part of Montana.

Historically this event has been held on a Friday evening but since we always have such a great time we decided to extend the fun over a whole day!

Odd Fellows Park is located on River Drive between Broadwater Bay and Warden Bridge and near Extended Stay America. Shelter and restrooms available.
