Sweet Pea Festival

The Sweet Pea Festival has been an important annual event in Bozeman for the last 48 years. Music, food, art, performance, dance, and learning are all a part of Sweet Pea's core, and families often plan their summer calendars around it.

The Sweet Pea Festival Ice Sculpture Contest is one of the "coolest" events in downtown Bozeman during the winter months. Talented artists along with adventurous newbies, brandish chainsaws and tools to turn blocks of ice into works of art.

It's one of the distinctly 'Bozeman' events of the year - The Sweet Pea Run, which has both a 5k and 10k option on Saturday, August 6th. Course maps, times, registration information is all here.

It's clear that a lot of thought and care went into the (most excellent) 2022 Sweet Pea Festival music lineup. From the funk of Black Joe Lewis to the dramatic layers of DeVotchKa, Lindley Park in Bozeman will be the cultural hub of southwest Montana the first week of August.
