The 7th Annual SLAM (Support Local Artists and Musicians) Festival, taking place during the first weekend of August in Bogert Park in Bozeman, saw another successful melding of local talent including musicians, craftspeople, and culinary artists this year. Coupled with the Sweet Pea Festival just a few blocks away in Lindley Park during the same weekend, SLAMFest and Sweet Pea make for a very fun weekend in the Gallatin Valley.
