\"The<\/a>The 13th<\/sup> Annual Magic City Blues festival is upon us. This Urban Music Festival is one of Montana\u2019s signature annual events hosted right here in Billings each year. Fans from all over the country flock to our great city year after year to enjoy this amazing time.<\/p>\n

This year we are going big with new additions, Micro Breweries, FREE parking and so much more! The festival is even moving to a new location, South Park, which allows more space for bigger stages, bigger bands and bigger crowds. The extra room and soft grass means there are plenty of places to sit so bring your own chair, kick back and enjoy the great time.<\/p>\n

Festivities kick of August 7 with a FREE all-ages show starting at 7pm at St. John\u2019s (3940 Rimrock Rd).\u00a0 The fun continues throughout the weekend featuring headliners such as Ben Harper, Jonny Lang, The London Souls, Nikki Hill and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.\u00a0 Free shuttles will be available for those wishing to skip the traffic and chaos of parking. For tickets, schedules and much more information, go to the Magic City Blues Festival website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Be sure to book your hotel reservations early. Reservations can be made on our website<\/a> or by phone (406-529-9454)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
