Welcome to the 16th anniversary edition of Bozeman Magazine! We are thrilled to have provided 192 months of local content, and we are grateful to our readers and advertisers for their continuous support. Our advertisers have invested in their businesses and utilized the power of print to gain visibility, making it possible for us to bring you fresh, engaging material every month.

To celebrate our 16-year journey, I have compiled a list of five unique characteristics that set Bozeman apart from anywhere else.

Bozeman’s Ever-Changing Nature: Bozeman is a city that evolves day by day, week by week, and, particularly, year by year. The exciting part is that Bozeman Magazine also transforms with each issue. No two editions are alike, and we never repeat articles. All our content is locally sourced, ensuring it’s up-to-date and relevant, to help you navigate our town.

Bozeman’s Vibrant Art Scene: Bozeman is a hub for the arts. Over the years, we have featured nearly 200 local and regional artists on our cover. As publishers, both my husband, Brian, and I hold art degrees from Montana State University, and are passionate about promoting artistic expression. We have highlighted a wide range of art forms, from striking sculptures to captivating paintings. We extend our gratitude to the talented artists who have shared their work with us, and with you, our readers.

A Love for Mountains and Rivers: In Bozeman, many people work multiple jobs just to make ends meet, all to pursue their true passion outside of work. These dedicated individuals prioritize their love for the mountains and rivers, seeking out careers that allow them to maintain their mountain-centric lifestyle. We affectionately call them Bozemanites.

Foodie Haven: Bozeman, Montana, is a paradise for food lovers. Whether you prefer a no-frills eatery that serves delicious burgers and sandwiches for lunch and offers draft beer and live music in the evenings, or you seek out an upscale downtown bar and grill with cosmopolitan flair, we have it all. In each issue, we feature a locally-owned restaurant, and help you discover new favorites through the Bozeman Food Finder on bozemanmagazine.com. We also publish a uniquely informative annual Food Scene Dining Guide, which includes every restaurant in our area.

Bozeman: Where Things Happen: Bozeman hosts a wide range of exceptional events every day of the week, all of which are included in our print and online calendars. From captivating performances (like Trevor Noah at the Fieldhouse) to open mic nights, children’s story time and historic tours, from American Aquarium to Shinedown, our calendar has it all! Our mission is to put all-things-Bozeman into two single, easily accessible platforms—our print magazine and bozemanmagazine.com/

Thank you for picking up this issue; I hope you enjoy engaging with our community!
