August is here, but there's still plenty of summer to enjoy in Missoula. Long, sunny days invite you to float the river, catch live music, explore the Saturday markets and cheer on the Missoula PaddleHeads under the lights. This month also brings some of Missoula's favorite annual traditions, including Symphony in the Park, the Western Montana Fair and the River City Roots Festival. Whether you're spending an afternoon at Caras Park, discovering a new local event or soaking up one more summer sunset, there's no shortage of ways to make the most of the season.
