The venue is located north of Custer Avenue on Cooney Drive. If you are coming into town from the West, continue on Highway 12 into town until you come to the intersection of Highway 12 and Henderson Street. There, you will take a left turn and head North on Henderson under the railroad tracks and down to the Fairgrounds. Here you will take a right turn onto Custer Avenue and drive East. You will pass two lights at Green Meadow/Valley and Benton, and the third light will be Cooney Drive. Here you take a left turn and drive North on Cooney Drive until the sign prompts you to take a right turn into the Shades of Green parking lot! If coming from the East, continue on Highway 12 heading West until you reach the Interstate. Take the onramp taking you North to Great Falls and merge onto the Interstate. Take the second exit onto Custer Avenue. Turn left off of the Custer Avenue exit and drive West on Custer Avenue. You will continue to drive West on Custer Avenue past 4 lights: The first is at the West side of the Interstate, the Second is Sanders Street, the Third is Montana Avenue, and the fourth is McHugh Street. Continue West past McHugh Street until the next light which will be Cooney Drive. Take a right turn and head North on Cooney Drive until you are prompted to turn right into Shades of Green! If you are coming into town from the North or South, take the Custer Avenue exit and follow the directions above once you are heading West on Custer!

Shades of Green is a beautiful venue hidden away in the middle of Helena. This venue is 100% outdoors, filled with incredible cottonwoods and other various foliage with some semi-covered areas. Plan on bringing jackets as we all know Memorial Day weekend plants itself firmly in the rainy (and sometimes snowy) season! In the event of rain/snow, there will be a tent set up to protect the evening festivities from becoming a wet t-shirt competition! If the forecast is clear, we will be partying under the stars, but cold-weather attire is still certainly advised! The venue includes some older wooden play equipment, and a small campfire that will provide warmth and play a crucial part in making a s'mores bar that would blow Ham and Small's socks off. We will also be providing some activities for kids of all ages so they can get out their wiggles!

For dinner we will be providing all the fixings for a taco bar! We will be keeping the ingredients separate, but we will not be providing any specialty foods such as gluten or lactose free ingredients so you are encouraged to avoid those ingredients or feel free to bring your own should you have dietary restrictions. For drink, we will be providing alcohol in the forms of beer and wine and we will provide some non alcoholic options including but not limited to water and soda.
