September in Missoula brings the best of both seasons. Warm days and crisp evenings make it the perfect time to soak up the last of summer while welcoming the first signs of fall. This month, Griz football returns to Washington-Grizzly Stadium, live music fills venues around town and community events bring plenty of reasons to get out and explore. From festivals and fall celebrations to outdoor recreation and the final PaddleHeads games of the season, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy September in Missoula.
