Posted on August 1, 2023 by Becca QuackenbushThe 46th Annual Sweet Pea Festival week is kicking off today filled with family fun activities downtown! The festival will migrate into Lindley Park at East Main for the main activities all weekend August 4th - 6th.
"Sweet Pea, a Festival of the Arts was born out of a community’s desire to celebrate the arts. The festival is still in existence today due to the community’s desire to continue celebrating the arts and all that they add to our lives. The Sweet Pea Festival is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all money raised in excess of what is needed to operate the Festival is given back to the community in the form of grants for the arts, art education, and special projects in the Bozeman area."
