Warrior Taste Fest is returning to Bozeman, bringing together food, drinks, art, live music, and community for an evening supporting Warriors & Quiet Waters.

🗓 Friday, September 11th at 6:00pm, at The Commons at Baxter and Love

This year’s event carries special significance as it takes place on the 25th anniversary of September 11, honoring the lives lost, those who answered the call to serve, and the post-9/11 combat veterans whose lives were shaped by that day.

The evening will feature:

It’s a great way to try some of the best food, beer, and cocktails in Bozeman all in one place…

And most importantly, the evening supports Warriors & Quiet Waters, a Bozeman-based nonprofit helping post-9/11 combat veterans and their families thrive through experiences in nature, connection, and evidence-based programming.

And this week only, Howdy readers have access to a special ticket offer that isn’t available publicly.
