Are you a music fan? Are you a fan of downtown Livingston?
For three days in October, the downtown community of Livingston will come alive with a celebration of music, and the creativity of songwriting. The streets, bars, cafes, and theaters of Livingston will become a gathering place for songwriters and music fans from Montana and around the country. This year’s festival is scheduled for Oct 2-4, 2025.
We need your help to make this happen. We would like your help to grow the Livingston Songwriter Festival and music education in our community. In addition to ticket sales, it takes the generosity of individual Patrons and Business Sponsors like you to make this festival a reality.
As a music fan, you know, songs have tremendous power to impact lives through music education, influence economic growth through tourism, and provide opportunity for songwriters to share their talents and songs with enduring music fans.
A few things you may not know:
- Only 40% of the revenues for the Livingston Songwriter Festival are generated by ticket sales. The remaining revenues are generated by the generosity of private donors, such as yourself, Patrons, and Business Sponsors.
- Over fifty-percent of ticket buyers travel from outside the Livingston area contributing significantly to our local economy.
- We directly engaged 14 songwriters from all over the country at last year’s festival providing them an opportunity to share their songs with the best fans in the world, you.
- In 2024 we were able to donate $3,500 to Sleeping Giant Middle School to purchase percussion instruments for the students in Livingston, Montana. Additionally we provided music scholarships to students at MSU-B in Billings & Northwest Community College in Powell Wyoming, and purchased sound equipment for the Roosevelt Middle School in Red Lodge.
This year, we’re gearing up for another fantastic festival with amazing songwriters, all the while supporting our community. As a Patron, you’re not just funding an event, you’re shaping the future of music and arts in Livingston.

- TWO VIP/PATRON All Access Passes per $1,000 contributed.
- Invitation to the Legends & Headliners Showcase for Patrons & Sponsors on Thursday October 2, at the Shane Center for Performing Arts.
