Emerson Special Events

Community Open Mic Night

Wednesdays, July 12 – August 2

4:30 PM – 8:00 PM

We’re back and building on the success of last summer by bringing Bozeman, Community Night! This incredible event will feature: an open mic night (with a special early spot for kids under 14), a headlining closing band, delicious food vendors, and incredible local artists.

Do you have a talent that needs to be showcased? This is your opportunity to take center on the Emerson’s fabulous outdoor stage and show the Bozeman community what you’ve got!

Community Night is free and open to the public. Join your friends and family on the Emerson lawn for 4-weeks this summer. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs, grab a bit to eat, pick up a gift from a local artist, and dance the night away. Food vendors include: Ms. Sippis’ Southern Cuisine and Huckin.
