The Caras Park 2025 Event Season is Over!

From October 2025 through April 2026, Caras Park will undergo some exciting improvements, including a full replacement of the pavilion canopy and a complete repainting of the structure. This project has been fully fundraised by the Downtown Missoula Partnership’s three sub-organizations, in collaboration with Missoula Parks and Recreation, along with generous donations from local businesses and community members.

Originally installed in 1997, the Caras Park pavilion canopy will once again be crafted and installed by the same company that completed the initial project — Fabricon. With a brand-new canopy and a fresh coat of paint, Caras Park will continue to serve as Missoula’s central gathering place for events, celebrations, and community connection for many years to come.
