Great Bear Festival 2025

 

Residents and visitors enjoyed a rainy, sunny, and fun summer afternoon and evening at an amazing venue with great food and drink, and activities for all. With sponsorship support from local businesses and private donors, the Rotary Great Bear Festival raised funds for local and global charitable projects. Your Flathead Valley Rotary Clubs were excited to present the 8th annual festival at our new outdoor venue, the Wachholz Center at Flathead Valley Community College on August 16th. This new venue allowed us to grow the event in a beautiful setting and provide ample, easy access parking. We re-imagined the Great Bear Festival together with our community and grew it to new heights, making it more family-friendly and affordable! This incredible opportunity focused on celebrating local culture, music, food, drink, and fun. It brought our community together with interactive activities for all ages.

The Flathead business community is known for its generosity to local causes. Rotary’s mission is Service Above Self. Together, we make a difference! To inquire about sponsorship opportunities for 2026, email kalispellnoonrotary@gmail.com.
