Thirsty Street Brewing Company teamed up with the independent art space, Kirks’ Grocery, to host the final Alive After 5 of the 2024 season. The Thursday, July 25th Alive After 5 outdoor event takes place from 5:00pm to 8:00pm on Minnesota Avenue between S. 30th St. and S. 29th St..
NOTE: There has been an update on the band for the evening, Miss Massive Snowflake will open for Parker Brown and Friends.
Some may think this location seems a little atypical for Alive After 5, to those who know the purpose and mission of Kirks’ Grocery, this pairing of performance art and community in an out of the box manner makes a lot of sense.
Kirks’ Grocery, at 2920 Minnesota Avenue, was established in September 2018 by artist/musician Shane de Leon as a contemporary art gallery and performance space dedicated to showcasing art and performers that fall outside of the stereotypical notion of what “Western Art” can be. The gallery resides in the original Kirks’ Grocery location on Minnesota Avenue, a building that had been vacant for years. Their philosophy of giving unusual art a platform extends to the performance space where Kirks’ hosts DIY all ages shows and events featuring everything from spoken word poetry to experimental musical performances and DIY touring musicians along with independent film and documentaries. Kirks’ Grocery is dedicated to building a community cultural scene based around art, music, and poetry modeled off of the many European punk collectives that Shane has performed at and visited over the years.
Specializing in double bass, electric bass and guitar, Parker Brown is a private instructor, songwriter, freelance and studio musician. He may look familiar because he is the lead guitarist in The Hellroaring; the band who just rocked the Alive After 5 stage on July 18th at the Monte. Brown’s music is a blend of Americana, pop, and rock with great vocals and insightful lyrics. Parker Brown brings his musical friends along to wrap up the 2024 Alive After 5 season.
Shane De Leon, founder of Kirks’ Grocery, started Miss Massive Snowflake in 2006 as a solo project. Since, he has performed nearly 800 shows in 15 countries, released six albums, multiple EP’s and singles. The band has grown and expanded with many lineup changes over the years. At the July 25 Alive After 5, Miss Massive Snowflake is Shane de Leon on vocals playing original songs, backed up with some of Billings’s best musicians. They play song-based indie rock.

The Hellroaring is described as “one of Montana’s liveliest and best live acts”, by Arts and Culture Journalist Jake Iverson (July 2023 Billings Gazette). As a country band, they pursue the classic honky tonk sound, and consist of Nick Kozub (vocal and rhythm guitar), Parker Brown (lead guitar), Mike Leslie (bass), Erik Olson (keys) and Pat Epley (drums). This current array of branded local musicians that make up the band are each busy in their own way, with either solo careers or as part of other notable local bands. While The Hellroaring originally started as a side project for the musicians involved, the band’s popularity has grown since taking the stage together at Thirsty Street Brewing Company in December 2022 followed by an 2023 EP and a 2024 single, “Put me to the Test” available for streaming on a number of platforms.

We’re ready! Are you?
The 33rd Billings Strawberry Festival will take place 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, this Saturday (July 13). Our team will arrive before the sun and transform the downtown streets below Skypoint (at N. Broadway and 2nd Avenue N.) into Billings largest street vendor festival. The one day Festival is a free community event coordinated and presented by us, the Downtown Billings Association (DBA), and our partners at Visit Billings, Montana’s Trailhead.
Like all the large community events we coordinate, the Strawberry Festival’s purpose is to bring the community downtown. The event invites attendees to explore, shop, dine, and ultimately stay a while in downtown Billings. Community events like festivals, farmers markets, parades, and concerts each help boost the downtown economy, while also offering community awareness and enhanced safety.
At 132 vendors, our 2023 Strawberry festival set a vendor record for this specific Summer event. We’ve broken the record yet again, the 2024 Strawberry Festival includes a vendor list of 152 vendors.
The vendors range from mobile food vendors, local retailers, non-profit organizations, and Arts & Crafts merchants from around the region. As an attendee, you can expect crafted creations, fine art paintings, jewelry, textiles, woodwork, sculptures, glass, ceramics, candles, henna art, and garden art to name a few. The day includes family fun with balloon twisters, kids crafts and activities, face painting, and live entertainment at Skypoint. On top of the many downtown restaurants open for breakfast and lunch, the festival includes 49 different food and beverage vendors. Wise Wonders Science and Discovery museum will once again host the Kids Zone on 2nd Ave N. near The Yarn Bar (2909 2nd Ave. N,). The Kids Zone includes a free craft activity (while supplies last) for young kids.
Not only has the vendor list grown quickly in recent years but the festival closure has expanded as well. Including the second year of the City of Billings Department Showcase on N. Broadway between 3rd & 4th Ave. N (in front of Spitz and Alberta Bair Theatre). The following city departments will be on-site for you to engage with: MET, Fire Department, Police Department, Crime Prevention Center, Library, Parks and Rec, Mobilize the MAGIC City, Public Works, and Administration/Council.
The Billings Lions Club’s pancake breakfast returns to its N. 29th Street Alley location across the street from Barjon’s Books at 223 N. 29th St. The group will start serving breakfast to the vendors and early downtowners as early as 7:00am. Funds raised by the pancake breakfast at the Strawberry Festival help the Lion’s Club to continue to provide vision screenings, eyeglasses, and hearing aid assistance to those in need throughout the Billings area.
Live entertainment will happen under Skypoint at N. Broadway and 2nd Ave N. throughout the day:
This year there are 80 vendors who have strawberry products, menu items, offerings. Those vendors are noted with a 🍓next to their vendor number on the vendor list here. Printed maps will be available at the purple information booth under skypoint during the July 13th festival.
This event is coordinated by Downtown Billings’ Business Improvement District (BID) and presented by Visit Billings.

The Billings band, Repeat Offenders will rock out on stage under Skypoint at the June 27th outdoor concert. If you don’t know who they are yet, we encourage you to come enjoy the show. They are a popular, crowd pleasing band who cover songs from the 1980’s all the way to current hits. They play songs you can’t help but dance and sing along with.
The band consists of a number of downtowners (residents, business owners, regulars); Kenn Patterson (vocals), Dusty Young (Drums), Steve Shelton (Bass), and Jon Verbeck (Guitar). The moment the Repeat Offenders step on stage the crowd can feel their “we’re here to have a good time with you all” energy.
The Repeat Offenders June 2023 Alive After 5 at Skypoint was enjoyed by approximately 2,723 attendees. That event and crowd set an Alive After 5 attendance record with nearly double the average attendance. We are prepared for that kind of turn out again this year. In fact, our DBA Events Team has been proactively planning for the growing number of event attendees, for a few years now. We’ve done this through adjusting stage locations and expanding the event footprint. We keep the experience of those who attend Alive After5, and the other large events produced out of our office, in mind as we coordinate our events. People remember how they felt when attending and we want the community to feel they have room to dance, mingle, and experience the location they are at.
