38^th Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering
and Western Music Rendezvous

Welcome!  Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering & Western Music Rendezvous is cordially inviting you to join us Aug. 10-13,  2023 for our 38th Gathering. . . . .  a celebration of our Western ranching lifestyle and the heritage of the American Cowboy of the Upper Rocky Mountains.  

In 2023, the ‘Together At Last Tour,’ starring Kathy Mattea and Suzy Bogguss will light up our Grand Stage Show stage on Saturday, Aug. 12, 2023.   TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW - online, at the Lewistown Art Center or by calling 406-781-1422.   

We’re aiming to pre-register 70 cowboy poets and Western musicians and 22 Western vendors, again this year.   We’re already planning for our red-hot vintage Western $2.00 raffle that everyone seems to enjoy! We’ll also be adding some surprises and special happenings as we advance toward August, 2023. 

Hope your 2023 summer plans include attending the 38th MT Cowboy Poetry Gathering.  Located in the middle of Montana, Lewistown is everything Western....  surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges with a ‘blue ribbon’ trout stream running through town. Our Main Street looks much as it did 100 years ago when cattle, lumber and mining were thriving.  

Come and join us for some pure mountain air and beautiful Charlie Russell sunsets--and our Montana Cowboy Poetry & Music Gathering! We’re “Keepin’ It Cowboy,” from “somewhere in the middle of Montana…..”.
