Weekends get most of the attention, but Missoula does not go quiet from Monday to Thursday. Each weeknight has trivia, karaoke, bingo or a show somewhere in town. This guide goes venue by venue. It names a weekly night only when the venue keeps it on a set day and time.
Weekly nights change. A host leaves, a holiday closes the bar, or a DJ takes the slot. So check the night before you go. MissoulaTonight is a free calendar of Missoula shows, dances, game nights and food trucks. Its listings refresh twice a day, around 5 am and 4 pm Mountain time.
Draught Works
Draught Works is a brewery at 915 Toole Ave. On Wednesdays it holds Trivia Night at 7 pm. Live music there is listed show by show, each with its own date, on the venue page. Look at the dated list before you plan a music night there. The brewery also keeps its own live music calendar.
The Badlander
The Badlander is at 208 Ryman St. It is part of the bar complex in the historic Palace building. Wednesday is Kettlehouse Karaoke, at 8 pm. Its DJ nights and dance parties fall mostly on Fridays and Saturdays, so for a weeknight, Wednesday is the one to know. The venue's own posts mark its nights as 21 and over. Look at the Badlander schedule for the next dates.
The ZACC
The Zootown Arts Community Center, or ZACC, is at 216 W Main St. Its Show Room hosts shows from local and touring acts, plus comedy and community events, at nonprofit prices. Many shows are all ages. The ZACC has no fixed weekly night. Its upcoming list has shows on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as well as on weekends. Each show has its own date and ticket price. For tickets, go to the ZACC Show Room page.
Caras Park
Caras Park is the riverfront pavilion downtown, at 123 Carousel Dr. It was called Island Park until 1977. Then it took the name of the Caras family of Caras Nursery. In summer it holds two free series. Downtown ToNight fills Thursday evenings from June through August. Out to Lunch runs on Wednesdays from 11 to 2, so it is a midday stop, not a night out.
Outside the summer series, the Caras Park page lists each event there with its date. It also keeps a short list of past events. In the fall of 2026, that list showed Downtown on Tap on two Tuesday evenings.

Thursday has the fewest weekly nights on this list. On a Thursday, look for a single show instead. The ZACC is a good place to start.
How to plan a weeknight
Start with Tonight in Missoula. It lists everything on the calendar for today, from morning classes to late shows. Each listing gives the venue, the time, and the price when there is one. You can filter the list by type, such as music, game nights or dance. MissoulaTonight also has trivia and karaoke pages that sort the weekly nights by day.
If a night looks wrong, the venue's own page or posts have the last word. Three of the venues here are on Main Street: the Union Club on East Main, and Cranky Sam and the ZACC on West Main. If one plan falls through, try one of the other two.
