Special Occasions
Anytime is a great time in Ovando, Montana, but several times a year something wonderfully different happens. A special celebration is had, and everybody around Ovando turns up to participate.
The most popular are:
Old West Christmas Fest -- This annual event gets bigger and better each year. Mix handcrafted items, soul warming foods, and horse-drawn wagon rides, with cold winter days, a downtown filled with Christmas lights, and the smell of wood fires in the air; and you have Ovando’s Old West Christmas Fest held each year during the three days following Thanksgiving. Each afternoon brings about an old West Shoot out within the plaza by an ever increasing number of gun toting actors, and the daily visit of Cowboy Claus, who arrives on horseback down highway 200. Every kid’s dream come true.
