The 2026 Lone Peak Film Festival Selections Have Arrived

This year’s Lone Peak Film Festival selection is a collection of powerful, inspirational films that will stay with long after you leave the theater.

Across twenty one films, you’ll travel from the high winds of the Himalayas to the quiet forests of Mexico. You’ll follow skiers, fishermen, ranchers, artists, conservationists, elders, and young people finding their footing in a changing world. You’ll meet those who carry old traditions forward and those determined to imagine something new.

These are stories shaped by wild places and ordinary courage—of people who keep showing up for one another, for the land beneath them, and for the future still taking form.

All Access Passes are available now and individual tickets become available August 19th.

Wildlands is Almost Here – July 31 & August 1

Big Sky’s biggest music-meets-conservation weekend is finally here! Wildlands returns to the Big Sky Events Arena beneath Lone Mountain this Friday and Saturday, headlined on Friday with Riley Green & Leann Rimes and Saturday with Carrie Underwood & Kaitlin Butts. Now in its sixth year, Wildlands has become one of Montana’s most anticipated events — bringing together great music, mountain views, and a shared love for wild places.

And it’s not just about the music. The Wildlands Charity Auction is live now, with proceeds directly supporting this year’s conservation partner, PERC (Property and Environment Research Center). Wildlands has raised over $2.2 million for conservation efforts since it began — help keep that momentum going by bidding on some incredible items before the auction closes.

Grab your tickets, place a bid, and we’ll see you out there this weekend!

Road Closure & Traffic Control Plan for Town Center Ave. through 07/31

Please see the attached exhibit from Dick Anderson regarding temporary traffic control that will need to be implemented on Town Center Ave over the next 6 weeks. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained; however, the road will narrow to accommodate the ability to operate a lift from the roadway.

The traffic control will be implemented for a total of 5 days, starting with the first day tomorrow, followed by 4 additional days spread out over the coming weeks. No traffic control will be completed on Wednesdays to avoid impacting the farmer’s market.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
