Western Montana gets an early June start on festival season on June 9-10 with the Silver Cloud Campout and Music Festival in Haugan, Montana. Haugan is most noted for the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar, and this festival, though only in its second year, has a pretty sweet lineup this year and a promising venue to boot. The Infamous Stringdusters, the Kitchen Dwellers, the Shook Twins, and the Hawthorne Roots are among the bands bringing the tunes to the Silver Cloud stage this year. Plenty of camping both tent- and RV-style is available, and the nearby St. Regis River beckons those feeling like a swim or a stroll. This festival seems like it could provide a great start to this season for those of us in the western part of the state.
