We’ve come to think of Easter as one day, but through much of Christian history it was considered too big a deal to only be celebrated for a single day. Instead, historically, Easter was celebrated for a full 50 Days after Easter Sunday! Certainly it starts with Easter Sunday and an awesome celebration of Jesus' victory over sin and death via the resurrection, but then it continued with festive shenanigans for a full 50 Days. This Easter we’d love for you to join us for one of our 3 Easter Sunday celebrations on April 20th at 8:00, 9:45 or 11:30 at Grandstreet Theatre. Then join us for some of the 50 Days festivities.

Helena Ales for Trails

Friday, May 16th

Join us for the 14th annual Helena Ales for Trails craft beer festival. Ales for Trails strives to contribute to the community of Helena by raising funds for the Helena Trail System. 2024’s event raised $20,000 for trails. The event is led by a consortium of community leaders from a variety of sectors. We’re proud to partner with local businesses, city and county government, and private citizens to host and sponsor Helena Ales for Trails. In addition to the myriad of people involved in planning, Helena Ales for Trails utilizes over 150 volunteers on the day of the event. Over the first 13 years we’ve raised over $223,000 for local trails, all which was distributed to Friends of Centennial Trail (Centennial Trail Project), Prickly Pear Land Trust (Peaks to Creek Project), Helena Parks and Recreation (Ascension Downhill Project & Park City Trailhead), Helena Trail Rider, the Deford Trail Corridor and the 2019 Whyte Addition to Mt. Helena City Park, and the Old Shooting Range Restroom Accessibility Project, the Limekiln Parking Area Realignment Project, and the Bureau of Land Management (Scratchgravel Hills Recreation Plan).

This year’s event will happen in Pioneer Park, located next to Lewis & Clark Library at the far southern end of the walking mall. The 14th Annual Helena Ales for Trails is scheduled for Friday, May 16th from 3:30 to 9:00pm.
