On the first Friday of every month from 5-8 pm, galleries and museums in downtown Missoula host First Friday Gallery Night, which is an opportunity for all to enjoy new art exhibits, to socialize with artists and gallery owners, and to experience the energy of a lively downtown Missoula evening. Complimentary appetizers and refreshments create a wonderful experience for both tourists and residents, and several downtown restaurants offer menus of locally-grown foods.
