The Red Ants Pants Music Festival is a 100% homegrown, volunteer-driven event based in a community of 900 people with the goal of bringing good folks together to celebrate rural Montana.

The Festival is a program of the 501(c)(3) Red Ants Pants Foundation. Our non-profit mission is to develop and expand leadership roles for women, preserve and support working family farms and ranches, and enrich and promote rural communities. We use proceeds from the festival to fund our community grants and run our timber skills workshops and Girls Leadership Program.

The BEST event of the summer returns to Bogert Park August 8 & 9, 2026.  

Come to the SLAM summer festival and enjoy a celebration of Montana made art, music, theater, dance, food, beverages, and oh, so much more! 

This event is free to attend and family friendly. 

Hours are 10am-7pm on Saturday, and 10am-5pm Sunday.
​Sunday join us for a FREE community yoga class beginning at 9:30am and then grab a Mimosa at the SLAM beer garden!

While dogs are allowed, we ask that you kindly leave your furry friends at home, as the festival can be a HOT an overwhelming experience for pets.
