Welcome to Troy Montana
Nestled in the rugged mountains of northwest Montana, Troy is home to a vibrant community of artists, outdoors-men, entrepreneurs, and those who simply seek an escape from the frenetic pace of modern life. Our eclectic mix of residents makes us hard to define, but exciting to live amongst.
Whether your interests tend towards fishing & hunting, ATVs & snowmobiles, cycling & hiking, or art & community events, you’re certain to find a slice of it in Troy. Come visit our many local attractions, stay for any of our regional events, or consider making your stay more permanent.

“Rockin in Roosevelt Park,” is the title we have given to Troy’s summertime concert series. I will be providing you with the information that I have gathered and breaking it down into 3 different phases that will start in 2025.
Booking entertainment is expensive. I have contacted a booking agent to get an idea what are cost would be for a big event. I ask to book the “Fabulous Thunderbirds.” Their big hits in the 80s were “Tuff Enuff” and “Wrap it up”.
There are not a lot of big band names under $10.000. Of course, the more money you spend, the bigger name you get.
Of course, we know there is more that goes into producing a concert. We are grateful for volunteer workers and donated equipment.
The stage and the band for our first big show will cost around $40,000. We are hoping to raise the sum of $20,000 to get us started with our first concert event. We are hoping to bring in $60,000 in revenue from our events by 2027, and every year after, for the community of Troy.
This is how the plan works.
2025, will be our learning year starting with $20.000
- We will have a committed sound and lighting to be donated.
- If in 2025, we do not come close to our financial goal, we repeat Phase one of booking just one band until we can get to Phase two.
- In Phase two we produce two big entertainment events, doubling our profits. If we do not come close to our financial goal, we repeat.
- In Phase three we book three big entertainment events, Tripling our Profits.
The money will continue to grow each year however, we will only be hosting 3 big Events each summer, because of time and the smaller events we want to host for the community.
The Money that is raised from the Summertime concert series will go into Troy’s Chamber of Commerce grant fund. From there it will be granted to Organization, Charities, Scholarships, ETC…
Troys Old Fashion 4th of July brings in over 6000 people to the town. Troys Chamber of Commerce oversees that one-day event.
Most of Troys businesses count on that week to get them though the winter. We would provide them with a few more busy days each year so the local businesses can thrive.
Thank you for taking the time to read this proposal. We hope you see the importance and the difference that your support could make for this community.
Sincerely
Mike Lidgett
President of the Troys Chamber of Commerce
Kootenai Falls & Swinging Bridge
While you are here be sure to stop by and visit Kootenai falls. The largest undamned falls in the state of Montana.
Just downstream from Kootenai Falls, accessible from the same parking area and path, is the swinging bridge. Featured in the movie The River Wild, the swinging bridge crosses the Kootenai and connects to other hiking paths. Adventurous visitors cross the bridge to get better views of the falls. Kayakers cross to gain access to the SuperHole and other river access points.
