Flowers and music. That is my Instagram bio. I shortened it recently, after a personal deep dive into my account determined that those are the two things I post pictures of most frequently. Having survived one of the longest Bozeman winters in my twenty-eight years living here, I’ve been longing for green grass and flowers of all colors for too many months. June brought the rain and the green, and now July will surely bring more of my favorite blooms.

While we stop to smell the roses, we may hear the sounds of live music being played at one of the many Bozeman venues that allow us to indulge in auditory vibrations. Our events calendar, in print at the back of the magazine, is full of music events at various locations in the greater Bozeman area. From local solo artists at Red Tractor Pizza to Swing Night at The Jump, line dancing at Bourbon and EDM at The Rialto, there is something for everyone here.

July is truly summer in Montana; our most fleeting season will be over before we know it. Take time to enjoy the vegetation and the summer sounds as much as possible this month! Thanks for picking up this issue of Bozeman Magazine. We hope you learn something new and find an activity that suits you.
