FAQ

Where is the Market?
165 Veteran Drive, next to the St. Richards Catholic Church. 

What Are Your Market Times? 
We open the market to the public from 5 pm to 8pm every Thursday night from the 3rd week of May to the last Thursday in September, rain or shine!   

Are Pets Allowed?
Due to liability reasons and because the venue does not accommodate dogs well, we will no longer allow dogs at Columbia Falls Community Market with the exception of Service Dogs. 

Service Dogs
Service dogs are allowed in all parts of the market. Having papers, a leash, and/or a vest for your dog does not mean they are a service dog. They must meet the following requirements: 
     -A service animal is a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. 

Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. 
If we suspect your dog is not qualified to be a service dog, you may be asked the following questions: 
     1. Is this a service dog required because of disability?
     2. What is it trained to do to mitigate the disability?

How do I sign up my band to perform at the Market? 
The Columbia Falls Community Market features Flathead Valley local family friendly bands that have a social media presence and following, the ability to help promote their performance at the market on their platforms, and the experience of performing in the Flathead Valley. The market is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and humbly asks the performers to provide a discounted nonprofit rate in exchange for a W9 for your taxes, the market promoting your performance on our social media pages and website, our VIP customer service and the opportunity to perform in front of 3000+ market attendees. All bands must bring their own equipment and be organized to set up early and be ready to rock the venue starting at 5PM sharp! If you feel you meet these requirements to perform at the Columbia Falls Community Market, please email us your band name, booking contact name, number, email, a video of a performance, and your nonprofit rate to perform for 3 hours with 2 breaks.
