The Lewis & Clark Foundation recently announced the 21st Annual Trail Mixer: A Celebration of Community, History, and Montana’s Best Under the Big Sky. This community tradition brings together supporters, partners, and friends for an unforgettable week of celebration, connection, and generosity. This year’s theme, “Best Under the Big Sky,” highlights the outstanding artisans, businesses, and cultural partners that make Montana shine.
The Trail Mixer will take place from April 15th to April 19th, featuring an online auction with opportunities to support the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center’s educational programs, exhibits, and youth outreach efforts.
“Each year, the Trail Mixer reminds us how powerful community can be,” said Kelly Paladino, Executive Director. “Every bid, every donation, and every shared moment helps us inspire the next generation of explorers, learners, and leaders.”
The Trail Mixer has become one of the region’s most anticipated spring events, drawing supporters from across Montana and beyond. All proceeds will directly benefit the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center’s mission to provide hands-on learning, cultural programming, and accessible educational opportunities for youth and families.
