Missoula Parks and Recreation and UM’s Campus Recreation are teaming up to host Glow Fest, an evening celebration of all things luminous on Friday, September 8, from 7 to 10 p.m. at Fort Missoula Regional Park. The event includes live music from the Ghost Peppers, glow-in-the dark games, an art show, food vendors, a light maze, glowing costume contest, fluorescent photo booth and more.
Local artists are invited to display their dimensional light or glow-themed works at the event. Glow Fest also includes a lawn game contest: invent your own glow-themed game and win a Sonos Play wireless portable speaker. Visit atthefort.org for details on the Art Show and Game Contest.
The event is open to the public. UM students can catch a free bus to Fort Missoula Regional Park at Maurice and Connell, between the Fine Arts and Music buildings. The free shuttle will start at 6:45 p.m. and will depart from campus approximately every 45 minutes. The last shuttle from the Fort back to campus departs at 10:15 p.m. Participants can also bike to the Fort with the Missoula Bike Ambassadors, departing from the Carousel in Caras Park at 6:30 p.m.
