Good morning, this is your Bozeman Local Frequency for Saturday, June 28th, 2025.
It’s a sunny Saturday in the Gallatin Valley, and Bozeman is buzzing with energy and summer activities. Let’s start with a note of community concern: authorities are mobilizing volunteers this weekend to continue the search for a Bozeman hiker who has been missing since November. Local search and rescue teams are renewing efforts in the Bridger Mountains, and neighbors are encouraged to report any information that could help bring closure to the family. The search highlights the ongoing commitment of our rescue organizations and the solidarity of our outdoor community.
On the roads, Bozeman is seeing some big projects that are sure to affect your daily drive. The city is getting ready for a major construction project at Peach Street and 7th Avenue, with work expected to ramp up in July. This is part of the 7th Avenue North Intersections Project, meant to improve safety and traffic flow. Still, locals have raised concerns about speeding through work zones and the loss of some mature trees in the process. City officials urge patience and recommend planning detours, especially during peak hours.
Meanwhile, downtown Bozeman is preparing for the 25th annual Music on Main summer concert series, kicking off this Thursday, July 3rd. Each Thursday through August 7th, Main Street will fill with music, food vendors, and family-friendly fun, bringing neighbors and visitors together for warm summer nights and a true taste of Bozeman’s creative spirit. Don’t forget, if you stroll downtown, check out the gorgeous flower baskets hanging from nearly every lamppost, thanks to local nursery Oak Gardens and our Downtown Business Improvement District.
For anyone interested in the arts, the Downtown Bozeman Art Walks continue on the second Friday of each month throughout the summer, transforming galleries and shops into open houses with exhibits and local refreshments. And if you’re looking ahead, the always-popular Small Business Saturday returns November 30th, but you can get a head start supporting local shops today.
In health news, the Gallatin Behavioral Health Coalition is making headway on the new Lighthouse Ranch facility, with the goal of improving mental health support for teens in our area. It’s a much-needed service and a testament to Bozeman’s dedication to wellness for all ages.
Lastly, sports fans might have caught the excitement as Bozeman native and Mavericks GM Nico Harrison made headlines during this week’s NBA draft, showing some hometown pride on the national stage.
That’s the roundup for today. Whether you’re headed to a local event, backing an important cause, or just getting outside, there’s plenty happening in Bozeman this weekend. This has been Bozeman Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
