Downtown & The Hip Strip
Centered on Higgins Avenue, Missoula’s tree-lined downtown streets feature mostly locally-owned shops offering everything from kitchenware to vintage records. During the summer months, you’ll find one of the best farmers’ markets around.
Just on the other side of the bridge lies Missoula’s Hip Strip. Boutiques, restaurants, kids’ shops, a brewery, and more unique local businesses are nestled in this funky and hugely popular neighborhood. If beer, live music, and fashion shows are your thing, check out the Hip Strip Block Party held every summer.
