About Bear Hug
Bear Hug is Montana’s longest running contra dance and old-time music weekend. On the shores of Flathead Lake, it is an “all-inclusive” experience, with entertainment, food, and lodging provided. From the first camp in 1984 through today, Bear Hug has offered folks of all ages a joyful, smile-filled weekend of dance and music, Montana style.
We feature three days of dancing, including Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning dancing. Music and dance workshops, caller resources, a concert, and storytelling make this a truly folklore-filled event.
In addition to dance and music, you can swim, sun, or paddle a canoe (provided) from a sandy beach or deep water dock. The park-like wooded grounds of the peninsula offer many sanctuaries along the lake shore for self-reflection or quiet talks with old and new friends. For the more competitive at heart, there are also basketball and volleyball courts, outdoor ping-pong tables and horseshoe pits.
