We get a LOT of vendor questions every year. And getting everyone onto the grounds, set up, and ready for festival day takes some serious behind-the-scenes work.

In 2026, Kelly joined us as our vendor coordinator and did a fantastic job. That’s her here welcoming The Carpenters Luncheonette to the festival grounds. 💛

Our vendor lineup was invitation only in 2026 as we built this role around Kelly’s already demanding full-time job.

And something else deserves a little airtime: our festival producers worked insanely hard to secure support from the Advocates Injury Attorney's to cover each vendor’s space rental AND two festival tickets.

That left vendors responsible for tickets beyond those two, their insurance, and their own business setup. We’re incredibly grateful to the Advocates for helping make that possible and sure hope they also feel the love from the 2026 Vendors!

We also learned that vendor coordination is bigger than a one-person volunteer position. It needs a team. If you’re interested in volunteering with our vendor crew, please reach out!

Interested in being considered as a 2027 vendor and volunteer?

One vendor passport. FOUR tickets to Centerfest 2027. One very happy winner. 🙌🎶

If you were at Centerfest in August, you may remember this video playing on the big screen! It was our first year trying a vendor passport—a little encouragement to explore the booths, meet the people behind them, and see what they brought to the festival. No purchase necessary. Just stop by and say hello!

And we owe a BIG thank-you to The Advocates, our 2026 vendor-area sponsor! Their support helped us give our vendors some extra love, and made it possible for one lucky passport participant to win FOUR tickets to Centerfest 2027. That’s a pretty great reason to get out and explore. 👏

To The Advocates, our vendors, and everyone who joined in: THANK YOU for being part of what makes Centerfest more than a day of great music.

Now, who’s coming back in 2027? 👀 The lineup drops in spring 2027. Follow along and start rounding up your festival crew!

They brought the brass. You brought the energy. Now we’ve got vinyl to give away.

Too Many Zooz were a crowd favorite at Centerfest 2026 back in August, and they left us TWO copies of Retail Therapy on vinyl for two lucky folks to win!

Thanks for all the messages to watch Monday Night Football! Pretty great that we got the opportunity to host Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews & Orleans Avenue on a small rural stage in Central Montana and then watch this performance just a few months after!

Watch the full halftime performance from Trombone Shorty & Orleans ...

The forecast calls for putting on a hoodie and refusing to take it off.

Good thing we still have some of the softest zip hoodies EVER.

Missed the merch at this year’s Centerfest? You can still grab yours at Ballyhoo Printing in Lewistown! A little festival nostalgia, a whole lot of cozy, and your new favorite layer for Montana’s changing weather.

Who else has officially entered hoodie season?

Small town. BIG music. And a whole lot of gratitude. ❤️

Centerfest took 3rd in Distinctly Montana’s Best Music Festival in the State this year, and we couldn’t be happier to be in the running alongside so much great Montana music!

A big congratulations to Butte for taking #1! They put on an amazing—and FREE—festival every year. That’s something worth celebrating. 👏

To everyone who voted for Centerfest, bought a ticket, sponsored, volunteered, or helped make our little festival happen: thank you. You’re the reason we get to keep bringing BIG music to Lewistown.

We’re pretty darn proud to be here.

Some sets you watch. Some sets you become part of. 🌺

Taimane brought a little piece of Hawaii to the middle of Montana at Centerfest 2026.

Ukulele. Dance. Culture. Bare feet. People getting pulled into the moment. And a crowd that may not have known exactly what was coming when the set started, but absolutely knew they were witnessing something special by the end.

This is one of the things we love most about Centerfest: bringing artists, sounds and cultures to Central Montana that you might not expect to find here.
And then watching the space between artist + audience disappear.

Taimane, thank you for sharing your music, your people and your culture with our little corner of Montana. 🌺
Yeah. This one was magic.
Centerfest 2026.
Small town. BIG music.
