Your Monthly Guide to Missoula: October 2024

Fall has officially arrived in Missoula, transforming the landscape into a tapestry of vibrant orange, red, and yellow leaves. These stunning colors create a cozy canopy ideal for leisurely walks, bike rides, or lunch on one of our many outdoor patios. With the crisp blue skies and warm sunshine, it’s the perfect weather to throw on a light sweater and enjoy the outdoors.

October brings a fantastic mix of events, both indoors and out. Whether you’re cheering on the Griz, savoring delicious ciders, and seasonal craft beers and cocktails, or enjoying a family-friendly pumpkin festival, there’s something for everyone this month.
