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

As summer winds down, fans of great beers, food trucks, and good times look forward to one of the Magic City's signature, end-of-summer events. Ales for Trails 2024 is Friday, September 6th from 5 to 10 pm at ZooMontana, and once again this party promises to be a blast.

Kristy Halderman, Development and Marketing Manager for Billings TrailNet stopped by our studios this week to discuss the annual event. Take a listen below.

Enjoy fantastic beers, food trucks, and the Repeat Offenders.

Perhaps you utilize Billings' ever-expanding trail network often or maybe you haven't ridden a bicycle 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, gates open at 5 pm on September 6th on the lush, shade-covered grounds of ZooMontana. The Repeat Offenders will rock the crowd of thousands, while others enjoy the always-popular Silent Disco or giant Beer Pong.

Food trucks will offer a variety of pairs-well-with-beer foods, including pizza, eggrolls, and other tasty treats to help absorb over 50 beers, ciders, seltzers, and non-alcoholic drinks from local and regional breweries. Halderman said the number is closer to 60 brews; sample as many as you'd like.
