30TH ANNIVERSARY
WILDWALK & WILDFEST SATURDAY, APRIL 23
SPONSORED BY
WILDWALK This is the day for all the wild ones - big & small - to dress up as their favorite flora or fauna and then walk, hop, and slither down Higgins Avenue together! Be ready to strut your stuff at 11:00 am or grab a seat along the street to gawk. Gather at the First Interstate Bank Building on Higgins and Front Street at 10:30 am. Don your wild animal guise and meet on the East side of the building- you’ll see us. We’ll march down Higgins toward the XXXXs this year. Please arrive early to settle in and join the fun!
WILDFEST
The WildFest begins when we get to the XXXX’s and officially kicks off the 2022 film festival. Music and food trucks cap off the morning fun before the films begin rolling.
Missoula artist Craig Menteer started the WildWalk in 1992 to begin each year’s film festival. He is the creative force behind this celebrated Missoula tradition. As you make your costume this year, consider Craig’s philosophy, “the act of making and representing a wild creature for a parade connects minds to what we call the natural world, to wildness. We need wildness. We need to be connected to the earth.”
