Enjoy a summer flea market at Flathead County Fairgrounds featuring vintage treasures, a wide mix of vendors, tasty bites and a fun atmosphere. Now in its second year, this market offers free admission and a changing lineup at each edition, with many vendors rotating so there is always something new to discover. Explore antiques, collectibles, handmade items, new and gently used goods, along with housewares such as furniture, glassware and tools. Standout finds may include 1970s style clothing and deer mounts. Local specialties add to the experience, including goat milk soap, sourdough, breakfast muffins and kids lemonade stands. This is a biweekly summer event, and more than half of the sellers focus on yard sale or vintage merchandise. Those interested in a booth should contact the host listed on the event. Applications and payments are handled only by Nichol Laaren Maurer of Nichol Laaren Boutique, and solicitations in the comment section are not authorized. Updates are shared through the Kalispell MT Flea Market Facebook group.

The Columbia Falls Area Chamber of Commerce presents a free outdoor movie night at Marantette Park featuring Zootopia 2, with the screen set up near the bandshell.

Admission is free, and concessions will be available for purchase, including fresh popcorn, candy, and soft drinks. Bring blankets or lawn chairs for seating, with chairs placed toward the back to keep sightlines open. It can get chilly, so dress warmly and consider extra blankets.
