All this is delightfully accompanied by the warmth and hospitality for which Montanans are known. Among other accolades, Bigfork has been voted as "One of the 50 Great Towns of the West" and designated as "One of the 100 Best Small Art Towns of the Nation" which is no surprise given its thirteen world class art galleries.
