We all know Whitewater was the official kick-off of summer — and if the buzz around Bigfork this week isn’t proof, we don’t know what is! The Bigfork Summer Playhouse opens with Catch Me If You Can on May 31st at @8pm, followed by Shrek the Musical on June 4th at 8pm. (If you are a chamber member or work for a chamber member - give us a shout and we will tell you how to get a FREE sneak peak of each show!) Downtown is alive with music at Lake Baked but Andy's Crafthouse, Buffalo Saloon and Casino and The Raven, are bringing their own summer music vibes, too. Speaking of Raven — patio season is here! What’s your favorite spot to soak up the sun? ☀️ Plus, there are happenings at Harrell Forest, FoR Fine Art, Bigfork Library, and so much more — way too much to list here!

We are beyond excited to announce Paul Mutascio as the Grand Marshal of the 2025 4th of July Parade! 🇺🇸 For over 25 years, Paul has been advocating for our community. From the Downtown Stormwater Drainage Project to the Bigfork Green Box Site, and most recently, ensuring the new single-lane bridge preserved its historic charm—Paul has left a lasting mark on Bigfork. In his free time, he also served as President of the Community Foundation for a Better Bigfork for 15 years, always putting Bigfork first. He’s the definition of community dedication, and we couldn’t be prouder to celebrate him this year. This year’s Grand Marshal float is sponsored by old friends from the Palm Springs High School Fish-O-Rama: Bill Blackwell, Bruce Blavell, Larry Scott, Tom Kieley, Jim Irwin, John Riordan, and Joe Stuart. Want to be in the parade or just need the scoop on all things July 4th? 👉 Register your float and get event info here: https://bigfork.org/annual-events/fourth-of-july/ Let’s all raise of glass of Don Julio to this year's Grand Marshall, Paul Mutascio! 🥂 (fb)
