Montana's Scenic Jazzoula Festival Returns This Summer

Live music in Montana always hits differently, especially when it's outdoors under the big sky, alongside a river, and surrounded by beautiful scenery.

And while Montana is known for country concerts and rock shows, sometimes it's nice to slow things down and enjoy an afternoon of jazz.

Introducing the Second Annual Jazzoula Festival

If that sounds like your kind of event, you'll want to check out the second annual Jazzoula festival coming to the River Edge Resort and Steakhouse in Alberton.

The event takes place Saturday, July 18, from noon until 4 p.m. at the scenic riverfront venue located at 168 South Frontage Road East in Alberton. Organizers are requesting a suggested $5 donation at the gate, with all proceeds benefiting the local nonprofit Helping Hands of Alberton.

Supporting Local Needs: Helping Hands of Alberton

Helping Hands provides holiday food baskets for families in need, Christmas gift baskets for children, and awards a $1,000 scholarship to graduating seniors in Mineral County. Attendees can also support the organization through a silent auction during the event.

Jazz Lineup: Meet the Featured Performers

The music remains the centerpiece of the event.

This year's lineup includes:

The Skylar Mendell Sextet

Guests can spend the afternoon enjoying live jazz while taking in views of the beautiful Clark Fork River and enjoying food and drinks from the River Edge Resort and Steakhouse.
