Missoula City Guide – Shopping

Downtown

Missoula's vibrant and attractive downtown has just about everything you need, as well as a bunch of stuff you probably don't but might want to buy anyway (and isn't that the very definition of good shopping?). There's a solid mid-range department store, The Bon Marche (110 N Higgins Ave; 406/542-6000), high-end clothing boutiques like Laurel Creek Clothing and Gifts (117 W Front; 406/721-5368) and J. Elaine's (140 N Higgins; 406/728-4326). For outdoor and sporting gear stores, check out The Trailhead (corner of Higgins Ave and Pine St; 406/543-6966) and Pipestone Mountaineering (101 S Higgins Ave; 406/721-1670): both specialize in climbing, kayaking and general backcountry gear. Grizzly Hackle (215 W Front; 406/721-8996) is the place to go for fishing tackle and gear. There's a plethora of gift shops selling fun, inexpensive stuff: Ovilla Antique and Gift Emporium (115 W Front St; 406/541-7527) has an eclectic selection of antique dishes, great rhinestone jewelry, hats and gourmet chocolates.

Art Galleries

Missoula's art galleries remain open late the first Friday of every month for the gallery walk. Try Art Fusion (111 N Higgins Ave, 406/544-3596) for fun and funky local art—pottery, paintings and jewelry—in a wide range of prices. The cooperatively run Missoula Artists' Shop (306 N Higgins; 406/543-0975), is the best place to find regionally made arts and crafts ranging from photographs to hand-made puppets, pottery, jewelry and glassware. Check out Sutton West Gallery (121 W Broadway; 406/721-5460) for higher-end pieces like paintings by Missoula watercolorist Kendahl Jan Jubb and lithographs by Livingston artist Russell Chatham. Next door, the Dana Gallery (123 W Broadway; 406/721-3154) specializes in fine-art photographs.

Rockin Rudy's
237 Blaine; 406/542-0077

With its huge selection of CD's and cards, espresso, fun T-shirts and clothes, jewelry, candles, toys, soaps, and imported tchotchkes galore, Rockin Rudy's is hands-down Missoula's hippest shop. It's the one must-see for teen-agers and anyone else who loves to browse for hours on end. Be forewarned, though: it's almost impossible to leave without buying something.

Farmers Market for
Summer of 2007

Missoula Downtown Association; 406/543-4238

You can find great local produce, baked goods and flowers at Missoula's Farmers Market, at the north end of Higgins by the old Northern Pacific Train Depot. But the Farmers Market is more than a mere shopping excursion: it's a quintessential Missoula experience, where Missoulians come to socialize with their neighbors over lattes and croissants, listen to live music (anything from drumming to fiddles) and celebrate their community. You'll see everyone you know, and if you don't know anyone, you will by the time you leave. Just two blocks south, you'll find all manner of arts and crafts at the People's Market, an offshoot of the Farmers Market, on Pine Street between Higgins and Pattee.

Open from mid-May to mid-October every Saturday from 8:30am - 12:00pm and in July and August, Tuesday evenings from 5:45 to 7:15pm.
