May is a wonderful time to be in Missoula—the warming weather signals the arrival of spring, and every day finds an excuse to linger outside a little longer. Downtown comes alive with a myriad of outdoor activities, including our beloved Saturday markets (3 in fact!), which offer a bustling hub of local vendors selling fresh produce and handmade crafts. May also marks the beginning of outdoor concerts, with the KettleHouse Amphitheatre launching its summer concert series. The gorgeous spring weather means that it's the perfect time to explore the many trails, rivers, and parks that make our town truly spectacular, taking in the stunning vistas and natural splendor that Missoula is known for.
