The YVFM has been bringing the Billings community together for almost 40 years- and is one of the most anticipated summer events!

The market kicks off on July 19th, from 8am-noon! Grab your friends and family and come roam the 4 city blocks around Sky Point and browse the goods that all of the amazing vendors will have available. Last year I bought huckleberries in bulk. No need to go out and hunt for them like a bear. Bought in bulk and enjoyed for months! They truly have something for every tastebud!

This is some serious FUN for your entire family! Food, music, arts and crafts, music, and more!
