GREAT FALLS — The second annual Big River Ruckus will be held in Great Falls in August 2022. The event will run from August 11th through August 13th at Elks Riverside Park.

There will be live music outdoors on the stage at Elks Riverside Park on Friday and Saturday evenings, and literary, arts, and sports events throughout the three days.

Kellie Pierce of the Downtown Great Falls Association said, "Last year was its inaugural year. We wanted a multi-day event that we can host here in Great Falls, that would bring some out of town guests and really showcase our amazing and beautiful river that we have and this city that we all love and adore. So we've brought in arts, and sports, and music, and combined them all into one weekend, so we've done that again this year."

Among the highlights:
August 11: Author Craig Johnson (The Longmire mysteries)
August 12: Tommy Castro & the Painkillers; Paul Thorn; The Melissa Lynn Band
August 13: Shinyribs; Jason Boland and the Stragglers; Suzy Bogguss; Chuck Mead; John Roberts y Pan Blanco
