How Did Margarita Meltdown Start?
In 2006, a group of Eagle Mount and beach party enthusiasts came together to create an event unlike any other in Great Falls. With the harsh Montana winters, we aimed to escape the winter blues and transport attendees to a tropical paradise. Who cares if it’s cold and snowy outside! Inside, we’ll have sandy beaches, cabanas, island-inspired food, drinks, a silent auction, and dancing to great music.
