Lakeside concert benefits wildfire victims

Montana Fire Relief in conjunction with the West Shore Visitors Bureau are hosting the Live! in Lakeside Fire Relief concert starting at 6 p.m. today, Sept. 8, to benefit victims of fires affecting Northwest Montana.

The concert was originally scheduled as a kickoff event for the Dragon Boat Festival. Event coordinators were forced to cancel the dragon boat races due to poor air quality. Instead of canceling the concert as well, the two nonprofit organizations decided to continue with the concert as planned. All profits will directly benefit victims of Montana fires.

The concert will feature Man & The Box, Old Sap and The Bad Larry’s, along with additional acts to be announced and take place at the Lakeside Town Center stage, 306 Stoner Loop.

Tax-deductible donations can be made directly to Montana Fire Relief or the West Shore Visitor’s Bureau.
