Join us for a day of family fun and community spirit at the Lakeside Fair on July 12th in beautiful Lakeside, Montana! Organized by the ladies of the Lakeside Community Club, the Lakeside Somers Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses, this event promises something for everyone. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:

Pancake Breakfast • Start your day with a delicious Pancake Breakfast at The Gathering Place. Enjoy fluffy pancakes and other breakfast delights while mingling with friends and neighbors.

Treasure Sale • 9am-3pm • Find hidden gems and great deals at the Treasure Sale! Early bird shopping is available on the Thursday prior from 7-9pm with an entry fee. There is also an exclusive gift certificate sale, silent auction, and split-the-pot! All proceeds from this sale support local nonprofits and community events through the Lakeside Community Club's mission of giving back.

Community Parade • 11am w. Lineup at 10am • Show off your creativity and community spirit in the Community Parade! All are welcome to attend and participate; there are no fees for floats and all you have to do is show up at the Glacier Bank parking lot at lineup time and get a number from our parade organizers. It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business or organization to the community - or - to catch candy along the west side of Highway 93.

Food Trucks! TBA.

Kid’s Carnival • 11:30am-1pm • The fun Kid’s Carnival is better than ever! Kid’s can enjoy a variety of games, win exciting prizes, savor shaved ice treats, and explore the kid's treasure sale - all within The Gathering Place’s parking lot (right across from Lakeside Elementary School).

Watermelon Eating Contest • 12:30pm • Get ready to sink your teeth into the sweetest, juiciest event of the day! Only 24 spots available; signup after the parade at the flatbed trailer after the parade ends!

Duck Races • 4pm • Don’t miss the infamous Duck Races at Tamarack Brewing Company! Bet $5 a duck and cheer on your favorite rubber ducks as they race down Stoner Creek to the finish line. This event is a favorite among both children and adults!

Join us at the Lakeside Fair for a day filled with fun and community camaraderie. We can’t wait to see you there!
