40th Annual MDA Membership BBQ

July 28 | 5:30 – 8:30 PM | Caras Park

Join us for one of Downtown Missoula’s favorite summer traditions as we celebrate the 40th Annual MDA Membership BBQ in beautiful Caras Park! This beloved event brings together MDA members, employees, families, and friends for an evening of great food, live music, community connections, and summer fun along the river.

New This Year: Food Trucks, Live Music, & Backyard Vibes

For food at this year’s event, we’re shaking things up with a lineup of member food trucks serving up delicious eats. The lineup includes Zeera, Kamoon, Pelz, and Servin’ Thyme.  Big Dipper Ice Cream will also be on site to help you cool off on a summer evening.

This event will also have live music from the Big Sky Mudflaps, family-friendly activities for kids, lawn games, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow downtown businesses and community members.

And of course, it wouldn’t be the Membership BBQ without everyone’s favorite raffle, featuring fantastic prizes donated by our generous members.

Whether you’re a longtime member or new to the downtown community, this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the people, businesses, and organizations that make Downtown Missoula such a vibrant place to live, work, and play.

Bring your coworkers, bring your family, and join us for an unforgettable evening in Caras Park! Want to help make the magic of the Annual BBQ happen? Sign up to volunteer here.
