Shop Local: Montana’s Must-Attend Fall Event

Yes, we’ve seen some of our favorite summer events come and go. Things like the farmers markets, outdoor concerts, and the outdoor festivals. The air has turned crisp, there’s already been a dusting (or three) of snow, and it’s officially time to move the fun indoors. Luckily, Bozeman has just the thing to fill that gap, and it involves local Montana makers.

The Bozeman Fall MADE Fair is back! It's happening October 17–18, 2025, at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. With over 195 artists from across the region packing into the Brick, theirs going to be plenty to explore over the weekend.

Think of it as Montana’s ultimate indoor treasure hunt. You never know what you’ll find, but you know it’s going to be handmade, heartfelt, and just plain cool. From jewelry and ceramics to leatherwork, art prints, and clothes, this event has something for everyone (and it’s the perfect excuse to get a jump on your holiday shopping).

Something notible that was put out in the flyer... Especially for those that want to get a headstart on the shopping. You can grab a $10 VIP pass on Friday evening (5–8 PM) or a $5 early bird ticket Saturday morning (9–10 AM). All proceeds benefit the Gallatin Watershed Council, which means your shopping spree helps support clean water and local stewardship. PASSES can be found HERE.
