Time your stay to something great.
Everything below is pulled from official organizer and National Park Service listings across Lakeside, Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls, Bigfork and Glacier National Park — only dates the source itself publishes. Pair it with the Flathead Lake and Flathead Valley guide, the Glacier National Park travel guide, or see the house in Lakeside.
This is a rolling window of confirmed events, not a guaranteed complete 12-month calendar. Listings come from official organizer, Ticketmaster and National Park Service sources. If a source is unavailable we keep the last confirmed listings and link you straight to the official Glacier National Park calendar .
The Tamarack works as a home base for these: the valley calendar is within driving distance of Lakeside, so the group can come back to the fire pit, sauna and game room instead of splitting across hotel rooms. Dates change — always confirm with the organizer’s own listing before you book travel. For the wider regional round-up, see the Trailstead Stays Flathead Valley events calendar and the Flathead Valley destination guide .
Gather here. Explore from here.
Make The Tamarack a Lakeside base for a family holiday or ski-group stay: cook together in the chef-style kitchen, settle into the game room, then come back from a winter day to the private hot tub, sauna and fire pit.

Verify every destination with its official source before you go; the home is not affiliated with these organizations.
Annual events to watch
These happen most years in the Flathead Valley, but their next dates have not been published by the organizer yet. We deliberately don’t guess: no date, no calendar export, no listing in the dated calendar above until the official source confirms it.
Official calendars we monitor
Dates above come from official organizer and destination calendars for Flathead Lake / Glacier Country. Where a source publishes no permitted machine feed, we link straight to its official calendar rather than copying it. Source list last reviewed 2026-08-30.
