Sweet Pea Festival

Bozeman, MT is not only home to the Black Bull Golf Community, but also to the 2007 Sweet Pea Festival, which marks the festival’s 30th year of celebrating the arts. Sweet Pea is considered one of Montana's largest arts festivals, as it attracts nearly 20,000 visitors every year. The festival is run entirely by volunteers and features live music, theatre presentations, arts and crafts booths, dance, a flower show, a family stage and a special area for children's activities. A total of 100 artists and craft persons will once again set up shop in Lindley Park to sell their art and hold craft workshops for children on Saturday and Sunday. The festival kicks off only minutes away from the Black Bull Community with the Bite of Bozeman on August 1 and continues with various festivities through August 3, 4, & 5.

Tickets bought at most locations before Aug. 1 will cost $10, with tickets at the gate costing $15. Roughly 70 percent of the revenue to organize Sweet Pea comes from ticket sales, with around 2,000 people volunteering their time to make the festival a reality, organizers said. Additional ticket and schedule information is available at www.sweetpeafestival.org or by calling 586-4003.
