About Us:
Since 1977, Sweet Pea Festival has brought Bozeman together through music, dance, visual arts, and community celebration. Inspired by the early 1900s Sweet Pea Carnivals, a group of local visionaries launched the festival to spotlight the arts and spark creative connection.
Now one of Montana’s premier arts festivals, Sweet Pea draws thousands annually and operates as a nonprofit powered by volunteers. Since 1986, all proceeds beyond festival costs are reinvested into the Bozeman community—supporting arts, education, and cultural programming.
Today, Sweet Pea is a beloved Bozeman tradition—still celebrating art, still volunteer-run, and still giving back. We’re proud of where we’ve been and can’t wait for what’s next.
