Bigfork hosted its annual Festival of the Arts on Electric Avenue and Grand Drive Saturday, August 3 and Sunday, August 4. Vendors from across the country braved a little rain to show off their wares. There was an emphasis on local artists and vendors, with Montana-made a frequent product descriptor. A free shuttle ran from the Bigfork Rodeo Grounds to aid with parking issues due in part to the downtown bridge closure.
