It’s Northern International Livestock Exposition weekend in Billings, so you know what that means. Yes! A weekend full of expositions, stock shows, and, of course, rodeo. Head down to the fairgrounds to take in an educational session, or just visit the animals.

If livestock shows aren’t your cup of tea, never fear, because there are plenty of fun things going on in the Billings area this weekend to choose from. Create some art, take in a movie, or watch motorcycle or car racing. Billings never disappoints with all of the amazing local musician playing around town either. And it just wouldn’t be fall without the corn maze at grandpa’s farm.

Regardless of what you plan to do, have a great weekend!
