Many local people find themselves in Great Falls, MT with nothing to do on the weekends. Guess what? It doesn’t have to be this way! This city is alive with a booming event schedule and enticing night life. All you have to do is “be in the know.” So step out of your house or out of the Great Falls, Montana motels you are staying in and go out to find a party weekend that you won’t soon forget.

As far as local area events are concerned, you can choose activities such as Taste of Great Falls, or the Great Falls Original Farmers Market. Both of these events feature some delicious food. The farmer’s market is the best place to buy the freshest produce as well as baked goods and some homemade jam to go on top. Don’t miss out on the Montana Car Show, and at the start of each month be sure to enjoy the free trolley rides to the First Friday Art Walks. A fantastic free event in June is the Luminaria Walk. This event will have live bands and entertainers as well as over 1,000 sparkling luminaria twinkling in the twilight.

Other locals will tell you the best two bars in Great Falls, MT to get your nightlife started out on the right foot are Eight Ball Casino, and Club Cigar. The crowd at Eight Ball is young and hip and usually found playing pool or cashing in on the casino games. Club Cigar has an older and more sophisticated feel to it. It too has pool tables as well as a shuffle board. It mostly features big tables so you can sit down and socialize. After all, that is the point of a good nightlife scene, right?

Before you head back home, or to your room in one of the Great Falls, Montana motels (if you aren’t a local) why not try out some of the other happening nightspots? The Lions Club, Sip ‘N Dip lounge, Brick Sports Pub, and the Aces Tavern are all open late. Now your weekend is full and you no longer have to fear the dreaded phrase: I’m bored.
