Summertime in Big Sky is an amazing time to visit. With 75 degree cloudless days and 40 degree nights be sure to bring a warm jacket to the Music in the Mountains Concert series every Thursday night. The sun sets at 9:30 pm so you will have plenty of daylight to fit in all your adventures.
Bands from all over the US play on our outdoor stage. Bring your own camp chairs and enjoy the sounds of summer. There are lots of food vendors and fun activities for the kids too.
