Summer is upon us and it’s time to get together outside! Summer events for families and people of all ages are happening on the lawn throughout June, July, August, and September at Pilgrim Church in South Bozeman. To celebrate the coming together of people in the community, Pilgrim has planned a number of wonderful, free events that will stimulate creativity, connection, and community in a beautiful outdoor setting surrounding the church. Starting on June 28th, there will be a family-oriented Outdoor Summer Kick-Off Concert. The concert will feature the music of Kate & The AlleyKats, Dos Mayos, UkePhoria as well as numerous kids/family performances. The fun starts at 6:30 PM with a BYO picnic and a 7 PM concert on the Lawn at Pilgrim. Another “Back to School” concert is planned for August 23rd.

For kids that like to ride trikes, bikes, or skateboards there will be a Chalk “Kids Race Track” maze in the South parking lot open to the public starting July 5th through the end of August.

Once a month, there will be an evening of meditation, music, and poetry with the theme of “Perennial Wisdom.” These contemplative events for adults will be collaboratively led by Rex Spears, Cyndi Fonda, Dee Dee Combs, Patti Gehman, Amber Ikeman, and Tim Dolan. S’mores campfire Sing Alongs in July and September will be led by Music Kate and other Pilgrim/community musicians.

And last but not least, there will be two Friday night outdoor movie nights on August 13 and September 10th featuring a BYO picnic, BYO lawn games, and family-friendly films (to be announced).
