The magic begins at 4 p.m. with the Holiday Art Walk, as shops, galleries, and boutiques open their doors to welcome visitors. Stroll through the village, freshly adorned with Christmas lights and garlands, and soak in the festive ambiance of Montana’s Christmas Village, named one of the Northwest’s best art towns. Enjoy wine, treats, and special sales as you browse for unique and thoughtful holiday gifts. Then, at 7 p.m., head over to the Bigfork Inn for the annual tree lighting ceremony, a tradition straight out of a Hallmark movie.
