2025 Family Area

Montana Folk Festival Family Area

The Folklife Area and Family Area come together at this year’s Montana Folk Festival to celebrate those who carry their communities’ cultural life and traditions forward. Here, attendees can immerse themselves in a wide array of Montana’s cultural practices and witness hands-on exchanges of skills and stories that bridge generations and help define what makes Montana, Montana. In addition to engaging activities offered by local organizations, select demonstrators will also be offering hands-on experiences for kids at their booths—such as learning to rope like a cowboy, designing their own cowboy boots, exploring leather and textile crafts, and more!
