Montana art, live music, and a summer day in the park make a lovely combination. SLAM Festival brings that energy to Bogert Park, close to our downtown stays.
A celebration of Montana creativity
The 2026 Summer SLAM Festival is scheduled for August 8–9 at Bogert Park. The organizer describes a free, family-friendly celebration of Montana-made art, music, theater, dance, food, and beverages. Follow its schedule to find the performances and activities that interest your group.
Let the day unfold
Choose one performance to anchor the visit, then leave time to browse the artists and enjoy the setting. Families can check the activity offerings before heading over, while art lovers may want longer to meet the makers. Comfortable shoes, water, and layers suit a day that may stretch from browsing into an evening of music.
Walk over from the neighborhood
Bogert Park is south along Church Avenue from Vintage Estate and Loft503. Use our Bogert Park guide and neighborhood map to plan the walk. A nearby home base lets your group return for a break and head out again when it suits you.
Give each festival its own plan
SLAM and Sweet Pea Festival are separate events with different organizers and admission arrangements. Check each year’s official dates rather than assuming they share a weekend. Reserve your downtown stay and any restaurant tables ahead of a festival visit.
Plan your visit
Confirm current dates, venue details, and hours with the organizer before heading out.
A downtown place to come back to
Loft503 sleeps up to four, while Vintage Estate sleeps up to eight across its historic home and suites. For other group sizes, explore Vintage House, sleeping six, or Rouse House, sleeping two. Individual V1 and V2 bookings become available within 30 days of arrival when not already reserved as part of a larger stay.
We recommend booking early for popular weekends. Check Loft503 dates, check Vintage Estate dates, or browse all stays. Final availability and terms appear in the booking engine.
