Back 2 School Bash returns as a community celebration dedicated to helping local students start the school year ready to learn. Hosted by Northwest Montana United Way, the event brings people together to distribute school supplies and build excitement for the classroom.

Treasure hunters and casual browsers will find a lively summer marketplace at the Flathead County Fairgrounds with free admission and a rotating mix of sellers. Discover antiques, vintage pieces, collectibles, handcrafted items, and both new and gently used finds. Browse housewares such as furniture, glassware, and tools, along with unique pieces like 1970s style clothing and deer mounts. The lineup changes often, with about half the vendors different from week to week, and more than half offering yard sale or vintage goods. Expect a friendly spread of booths featuring locally made goat milk soap, sourdough, breakfast muffins, and even kids lemonade stands. Now in its second year, this biweekly market keeps things fresh all summer. For booth details, contact only the host listed on the event. Applications and payments are handled solely by Nichol Laaren Maurer under Nichol Laaren Boutique, and messages in the comments advertising space are not authorized. News about upcoming markets is shared in the Facebook group Kalispell MT Flea Market.

Two Kay’s Flower Farm presents an annual farm to table dinner set amid blooming fields and the fresh air of the Flathead Valley. The experience begins with passed appetizers, then continues with a plated seasonal salad and entrée prepared by The Kopper Kitchen. Chef Kristen will set the final menu closer to the event to showcase peak-harvest ingredients. Dessert comes from Bakes and Cakes by Brie, and both wine and non-alcoholic beverages are included. SG Weddings will style an elegant outdoor table among the flowers, and photographer Jennifer Vernarsky will capture the evening. Guests may explore the farm before dinner begins. This is an outdoor event, and in the case of severe weather, rescheduling will be evaluated based on vendor availability. Because the menu is driven by seasonal products, dietary restrictions and food allergies cannot be accommodated. Tickets are required ahead of time because capacity is limited. Dress for a summer evening on the farm for a warm, thoughtfully crafted celebration of the season’s bounty.

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.

This event is supported by sponsors including Shaine Reece Farmers Insurance, Stockman Bank, Tanko Law, Glacier Bank, A7 Cycles, Weyerhaeuser, and Flathead Electric Cooperative.
