2023 Townsend Fall Fest

Weather in Montana is no indicator of how successful  Fall Fest will be in Townsend.  People came by the hundreds to see, drink, eat, buy gifts and visit friends at the 24th annual blowout.   The wind blew, the rain pelted the tents and still people stayed to dance to eleven bands like Ten Years Gone \, The Unpredictables and Voodoo Alley beginning Friday night.
