Great Walls, Montana

I spent some time this morning watching several artists work on murals in an alley, downtown Great Falls, for the Great Walls, Great Falls art festival going on 10 - 16 August 2025.  Previously known as ArtsFest Montana, artists have been transforming building walls in the downtown area into large scale murals for several years.  If you are in Great Falls and have the time, it is worth the walk to take a look at all the great art work in the downtown area. - Todd
