We'll be on Higgins Avenue from 11:15 am to 4:30 pm with our inflatable outdoor curling setup, introducing the sport to the broader Missoula community.

We’re on TikTok and YouTube Shorts
Missoula Curling is officially on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, and yes, we know what we’re doing.
These channels are where we’ll show, not just tell, what the future of curling in Missoula looks like, especially as we move toward dedicated ice.
You’ll see quick videos from dedicated curling facilities, side-by-side looks at arena ice versus dedicated ice, and real examples of how better ice, better access, and better scheduling change the curling experience. We’ll also pull back the curtain on the business side of running a dedicated facility, because that part matters too.
As the project moves forward, we’ll share updates along the way. When we move into the construction phase, we’ll document the build from the first shovel to the first rock down the sheet.
Think behind-the-scenes, explainers, site visits, and the occasional moment of curling joy. Short videos, real information, no fluff.
Follow along here:

This is all about keeping our community informed, connected, and excited about what’s coming next.
