This weekend in Missoula, MT

Back for another edition, this event offers a full day of jumper classes starting at 12 inches, with an opportunity to earn MHJA points.

Clark Fork River Market hosts a one-day pop up centered on sustainable fashion. The event spotlights creativity through reuse and the work of local makers, with showcases from BUBBLEGUM, Rose of the Earth, and Low Tide Threads.

Search the market to uncover 10 hidden Great Harvest Bread gift cards. Clues will be shared on Instagram Stories to help guide the hunt, so check in often to follow the trail.

The Street Dog Coalition will host a free pop-up veterinary clinic in Missoula for pets of people experiencing homelessness in and around the area. The clinic runs from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Watershed Navigation Center, with services including vaccinations, de-worming and parasite treatment, plus exams for minor medical issues. Dogs should be on leashes and cats should be in carriers. This is first come, first served with limited supplies, and no urgent or emergency care is available.

The Missoula People’s Market is a local market featuring art and handcrafted goods. It runs from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturdays in downtown Missoula during the seasonal run, and it’s free to attend.

Children ages 5 and up and their caregivers can enjoy a weekly mix of read-aloud stories, simple crafts, and lively music in the library's Imaginarium on the second level. Each session introduces a new theme and offers a warm, playful space for learning and time together.

At the Imaginarium, this storytime nurtures early reading skills through a lively blend of sound, rhythm, and movement. Children take part in songs, fingerplays, nursery rhymes, and stories, all guided by Youth Services staff.

Explore the Lions Gate Portal as a season of heightened awareness, expanded possibility, and intentional alignment through a pair of Soul Alignment Journeys that nurture different phases of the path. The first clears space for release, grounding, and inner clarity. The second, aligned with the Lions Gate Portal, centers on receiving, alignment, and purposeful forward movement. Each can be attended on its own, and together they create a cohesive ceremonial arc. Soul Alignment Journey is a deeply immersive sound healing experience that blends Gong Therapy, Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls, and guided Reiki meditation. Each session unfolds as a ceremonial soundscape, pairing Himalayan bronze singing bowls or Crystal Tones Alchemy bowls with Paiste Planetary Gongs and complementary instruments to create layered frequencies that resonate through the body and subtle energy field. Reiki is interwoven throughout to support deep rest, release, and energetic alignment. This listening-focused experience invites the nervous system to soften, quiets the mind, and lets vibration encourage balance, restoration, and presence. Because space is limited, registration must be completed ahead of time. Expect an email with logistical information during the week of each gathering. Pack a mat, a pillow, and a few blankets to create a comfortable, supportive nest; some props are available on site. Pricing options include a Soul Alignment Journey Pass at $75 for both journeys, which saves $5 when registering together, or $40 for a single journey.

This weekend camping trip heads to Horse Creek Hot Springs. Participants meet at the Walmart in Missoula, then convoy together at a safe, steady pace toward the Darby area to locate the trailhead and continue to the springs. It is a longer drive, so be prepared for travel. Shade may be scarce at the destination due to limited tree cover, so plan accordingly.
