The ultimate Billings end-of-summer party

Billings loves a good party. Ales for Trails is always one of the best.

As summer comes to a close, fans of good beer, food trucks and good cheer are looking forward to one of the Magic City’s typical end-of-summer events. Ales for Trails 2024 will take place on Friday, September 6th from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at ZooMontana and this party promises to be a lot of fun.

Kristy Halderman, development and marketing manager for Billings TrailNet, stopped by our studios this week to talk about the annual event. Listen below.

Enjoy fantastic beers, food trucks and the Repeat Offenders.

Maybe you use Billings’ ever-expanding trail network often, or maybe you haven’t ridden a bike since you were a kid… either way, Ales for Trails is a good time. Since 2001, the event has raised over $1 million for urban trails in the Billings area.

At Ales for Trails 2024, the gates open at 5 p.m. on September 6th on the lush, shaded grounds of ZooMontana. The Repeat Offenders will get the thousands of people rocking while others enjoy the ever-popular Silent Disco or giant Beer Pong.

Food trucks will offer a variety of food that pairs well with beer, including pizza, spring rolls and other tasty treats, to sample over 50 beers, ciders, sparkling water and soft drinks from local and regional breweries. Halderman said the number is closer to 60 beers; try as many as you like.
