BILLINGS - With more events slowly coming back to the Magic City, the Yellowstone Art Museum (YAM) is gearing up for this year s Annual SummerFair.
The Billings Symphony Orchestra is also preparing for their 49th Symphony in the Park this summer, joining forces with the Yellowstone Art Museum and the SummerFair to bring a richer and more immersive experience to Billings.
The annual SummerFair and Symphony in the Park, like many other events last year, had to go virtual. Now, the YAM and Billings Symphony say theyâre teaming up to bring a three-day festival to Pioneer Park.
âSince that got shutdown last year, weâre doing it for 2021, so that gave us a year of planning time,â the museum s Executive Director Bryan Knicely said.
