Here's a few options to get you Out and About this weekend.
Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, Jr.
In case you find yourself “getting curiouser and curiouser,” Billings Studio Theater is getting ready for the opening night of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, Jr. this weekend. It’s the theater’s Growing Stage production of the season, bringing kids to the stage in a musical retelling of the classic story involving Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and more.
Curtains open at 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 10. You’ll have more chances to catch this show this weekend, alone; there’s a matinee at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11, and another show at 7 p.m. Then, on Sunday, you can catch another 2 p.m. matinee. Tickets are $15.
Winter Bird Stroll
Bird watching is certainly a growing pastime in not only Montana but across the country (I’m a big birder, myself). The Montana Audubon Center is offering up a chance to enjoy the nature of birds, yourself, whether you consider yourself an experienced bird hound or are just looking to try a peaceful new hobby.
At 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11, you can take part in the center’s Winter Bird Stroll, which aims to bring you out to Norm’s Island in Billings alongside Audubon naturalists to see what you can see when it comes to Montana ornithology. You can bring your own binoculars or you will be given the opportunity to borrow a pair. For non-members, it’ll cost $5 (members, $3).
4th Annual Billings Preschool Fair
Affordable and available childcare is important in any community. At 9 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11, the 4th Annual Billings Preschool Fairaims to help you find the best childcare in the area, particularly for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Organizers say more than 30 schools, local nonprofits, and resources will make themselves available at the Montana Pavilion at The Metra. The event is completely free to the public.
