On this episode of We're No Dam Experts, Rebecca and Shannon sit down with Liz Lauver, the brains behind Visit Great Falls' amazing lineup of events this season. Liz fills us in on Deck the Falls, a brand-new holiday celebration that brings together the Holiday Glam Slam hotel decorating contest, the Clash at the Course Christmas Light Showdown, and Candy Cane Lane—all lighting up December with festive fun.

Then, Liz takes us behind the scenes of the Great Beyond Film Festival, happening February 5–7, 2026. Great Falls has a rich history of aliens, mermaids, and ghost stories—which makes it the perfect spot for a festival celebrating the paranormal, extraterrestrials, cryptids, and all things mysterious. This isn't your typical film festival—it's a worldwide gathering of films, plus world-class workshops and classes for filmmakers and curious minds ready to explore the unknown.

So, grab your cocoa, get cozy, and join us for a look at some of the coolest events coming soon to Great Falls!
