The great Bob get-together! Gather with fellow wilderness enthusiasts and help us celebrate an unforgettable summer season in the Bob. Our annual gala includes live music, food, drinks, family friendly activities and special guests – plus incredible silent and live auctions filled with art, outdoor gear, adventures and getaways, gifts, and so much more!

Details and sponsors TBA!

2023 Event Details: (Stay tuned for 2024 announcements!)

We’re bringing the Bob to the frontcountry! Join us to:

Meet the Mules who help us in the Bob, and give them some treats to thank them for their hard work this summer!
Learn how to tie a load for a mule and time yourself against the pros with Manty Wrapping Demos and Competition
Take a load off at our Campfire Corner and sample tasty, locally made backcountry meals from Right on Trek
Grab a partner and join the Crosscut Competition for your chance to win prizes
Kiddos can head over to the Kid’s Corner to explore our wildlife trunk, activities and games!

Plus! Enjoy:

Dinner from Chef Chris DiMaio of Montana Craft Kitchen, serving a scrumptious baked potato bar to warm your bones on this fall evening (gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan friendly).
Delectable dessert by Cere’s Bakery and coffee donated by Montana Coffee Traders
No-host bar with local brews sponsored by Sacred Waters Brewing Co., wine and sodas
Hit the dancefloor with lively, lovely tunes from local trio Way Down North

+++ Don’t miss our Silent and Live Auctions featuring an amazing selection of wilderness adventures, handcrafted goods, outdoor gear, local getaways, art and gifts, and more – truly something for everyone! Most items are exclusively available in person at the BobFest, but we will have a small Online Auction too for our friends further away – stay tuned for more details!

We hope to see you there to catch up with old friends, make some new ones, and raise essential funds to support hands-on wilderness stewardship in the spectacular Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex.
