Whether you’re new to town, thinking of making a move, or a long-time local, here are a few ways to make the most of Spring 2025 in Missoula :
1. Hit the Trails (or the River!)
With warmer temps and blooming wildflowers, spring is perfect for getting outside. Head to the "M" trail for a hike and sweeping views of the valley, or explore the Rattlesnake Wilderness area just minutes from downtown. For water lovers, the Clark Fork River offers kayaking, paddleboarding, or just relaxing by the shore with a coffee from Black Coffee Roasting Co.
2. Support Local at the Clark Fork River Market
Reopening for the season on Saturday, May 3, the Clark Fork River Market is a spring staple. Fresh produce, local meats, handmade crafts, and your favorite food trucks make this market a can’t-miss Saturday tradition.
3. Celebrate Missoula at Local Events
Here are a few to get on your radar:
International Wildlife Film Festival (April 19-24) This long-standing Missoula tradition showcases wildlife documentaries from around the world at The Roxy Theater.
Run for the Trees (April 12) This family-friendly 5k and 10k race celebrates Arbor Month and Missoula’s commitment to green spaces.
Garden City BrewFest (May 3) Held in Caras Park, BrewFest is the unofficial kickoff to summer. Enjoy craft beer, live music, and sunshine along the Clark Fork River.
4. Dream About Your Next Home (or Start the Search!)
Spring is one of the busiest—and best—times to buy or sell a home in Missoula. The market is warming up right along with the weather, and whether you're looking for a downtown bungalow or a little more space on the outskirts, there’s something for everyone.
As a local REALTOR®, there’s nothing I love more than helping people find their perfect fit in this incredible place we get to call home. Please don't hesitate to reach out!
