October is here, and the Flathead Valley is alive with community events, live music, theatre, and seasonal celebrations. 

From the Great Northwest Oktoberfest in Whitefish and the Harvest Moon Fest in Columbia Falls, to the symphonic brilliance of the St. Olaf Orchestra and the energy of Mike Eldred performing John Denver’s classics, there’s something for everyone this month.

We also highlight unique shows like Erica Von Kleist’s bold jazz comedy BOOBS! benefitting breast health, spooky Conrad Mansion Ghost Tours, and local theatre productions of A Murder is Announced and Wait Until Dark.
