Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
Starting with breaking news, a Bozeman man is facing multiple felony charges following a string of alleged home invasions on Mineral Avenue just a few days ago. Darren Lee Vanamann appeared in Gallatin County Justice Court after reports of him kicking in doors and entering homes in the early morning hours. Residents described a frightening scene, with Vanamann reportedly brandishing a meat cleaver and making threatening statements. Police responded quickly and took him into custody after a brief struggle. He now faces charges including aggravated burglary and criminal possession of dangerous drugs, and his bond is set at two hundred fifty thousand dollars. This incident has left many in the Mineral Avenue neighborhood shaken, but police assure the public that there’s no ongoing threat at this time.
Turning to statewide developments, Montana is observing Indigenous Peoples’ Day as an official state holiday for the very first time this week, after a decade of advocacy and a new law signed this spring. Local groups celebrated with a community round dance at Peets Hill here in Bozeman, honoring both history and healing across the state. This change reflects a growing recognition of Indigenous culture and history in Montana, and you might have noticed new events and conversations happening all over town in conjunction with the holiday.
In lighter community news, Bozeman’s social calendar is packed with things to do tonight. If you’re feeling competitive, swing by SHINE Beer Sanctuary for Trivia Wednesday, or gather a team for Trivia at Rockin’ R Bar or The Molly Brown. For those who prefer their midweek with a twist, Western Swing Wednesdays returns to The Jump in Gallatin Gateway—perfect for anyone eager to hit the dance floor. Bingo lovers have a few choices tonight too: head over to the American Legion Bar for a game, or check out Katabatic Brewing Company across in Livingston for something a little bit different.
Music fans are still buzzing after last night’s Molly Tuttle concert at The Elm, and more shows are right around the corner. This weekend, the Bozeman MADE Fair comes to the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, featuring local art, crafts, and family fun. If you’re feeling festive, Big Sky Oktoberfest kicks off this afternoon at three and runs through Friday, bringing German-inspired food, music, and plenty of seasonal brews to town.
Looking ahead, there’s more to mark on your calendar. The Museum of the Rockies is currently hosting the Becoming Jane exhibit, celebrating the life and evolution of the late Jane Goodall, who recorded a special video message for Bozeman visitors just days before her passing. Next week features even more gatherings, from KGLT DJ Night at Hop Lounge to the always-popular Pour and Gore Victorian Halloween party at the museum for those looking to get into the spooky spirit early.
Weather-wise, expect a cool and wet stretch through Thursday, so keep the rain gear handy as you make your way around town. And good news at the pump—Montana gas prices have dipped nearly five cents per gallon as we roll through October.
That wraps up this morning’s snapshot of what’s happening in and around Bozeman. Whether you’re dancing, gaming, learning, or giving back, there’s plenty to keep you busy and connected right here at home. This has been Bozeman Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
