Pearl Jam Celebrates Montana Nonprofits with a Pre-Show Community Festival in Missoula
Join us at Our Village, a free and open-to-the-public community festival prior to Pearl Jam’s August 22nd show in Missoula, Montana.
- Date: Thursday, August 22, 2024
- Time: 2-5pm
- Location: Tailgate Area, North of Washington-Grizzly Stadium at the University of Montana
Over 30 local nonprofits are participating in the festival, each bringing an interactive, family-friendly activity or sharing a visual display. Activities range from face painting, art projects, and lawn games, to instrument building, bicycle repair demonstrations, photo booths, and various amazing displays. Blue Mountain Clinic will be tabling with a fun game, free emergency contraception and condoms, and lots of smiles!
Local food trucks and beverage vendors will be present. (Check out KettleHouse’s signature beer, the MPS Pilsner, a collaboration with Montana Pool Service, founded by Pearl Jam’s own Jeff Ament.)
The Zootown Arts Community Center is programming an entertainment stage at the festival, emceed by Montana Poet Laureate Chris La Tray, and featuring four local bands: American Falcon, (latent), Calamity Cowboy, and But I’m A Cheerleader.
Pearl Jam is partnering with four progressive nonprofits, Forward Montana, Western Native Voice, Montana Conservation Voters, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of MT, who will help fans join the band in taking the Pledge to Vote.
Our Village will be a fun and engaging space for Montana-led nonprofit organizations to connect with one another, Pearl Jam fans, and the greater Missoula community to share their work. We hope to see you there!
