Red Ants Pants Music Festival

For the first time in decades, Missoula will host a major music festival next July. The Zootown Festival is the latest event in Montana’s flourishing live music scene.

‘Front Row Center’ co-host Lauren Korn sits down with Sarah Calhoun—the producer and founder of the Red Ants Pants Music Festival, owner of Red Ants Pants, and the executive director of the Red Ants Pants Foundation—to talk about 2024 festival happenings.

The Red Ants Pants Music Festival is part of the Red Ants Pants Foundation’s mission to enrich and promote rural communities. For four days and four nights in July musicians from across the country brought music to rural White Sulfur Springs, Montana where the foundation is based.

Held every July in a cow pasture just outside of White Sulphur Springs, the Red Ants Pants Music Festival celebrates music, local food, beer, community, agriculture, and the rural Montana landscape.
