Montana winters are long and often freakishly cold, but staying inside gives us time to make plans for what we’ll do when the weather outside isn’t so frightful. If you’re currently creating your 2020 Montana bucket list, save a spot for the Red Ants Pants Music Festival in White Sulphur Springs. What started as a small gathering of musicians and music fans has amassed a large following, and it’s only getting bigger and better.
The four-day festival gets bigger and more fun every year.
The festival is a program of the Red Ants Pants Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to women's leadership.

Calhoun named the foundation and the festival after her brand, Red Ants Pants, a brand of work pants for women and men that are all made in the USA.

This is also the day that the campgrounds open, with free shuttles running guests to and from town.
Past headliners have included Patty Griffin, Brandi Carlisle, Dwight Yoakam, and Shooter Jennings & Waymore’s Outlaws.
The campgrounds, which are for festival guests only, only cost $30 per person for all four days. You can choose between a lively camping spot and quiet camping, and the fee includes showers, restrooms, and other amenities. Food is available for purchase.
Between 15,000 and 18,000 attend each year, and the team is expecting a record turnout in 2020.
Whether or not you’re a music festival person, you just might love the Red Ants Pants Festival. Tickets will be available soon, so mark your calendar.
