Anaconda Yoga schedules second annual Anaconda Yoga Fest for Sept. 11–13

Current assessment

Anaconda Yoga is planning to stage the second annual Anaconda Yoga Fest in Anaconda, Montana, on Sept. 11–13, 2026. The available evidence supports treating the festival as a scheduled event rather than only a preliminary idea: Anaconda Yoga has published dates, a multi-venue schedule, teacher listings and ticket options, while Anaconda-Deer Lodge County’s April agenda listed a special-event request for the same dates at Washoe Park.

The strongest supportable interpretation is that this is a return of the festival after its inaugural 2025 edition, with a more fully specified 2026 program. That conclusion remains limited by the fact that the event is still several weeks away and the county record reviewed was an agenda item describing the park request as pending a certificate of insurance, not a later meeting record confirming final approval.

Reported facts

The Montana Standard reported on Aug. 13 that Anaconda Yoga would host a second annual Anaconda Yoga Fest in September. The newspaper page supplied for this review was consulted but redirected to an inaccessible tollbit page, preventing direct verification of its full article text.

Anaconda Yoga’s own festival page identifies Sept. 11, 12 and 13 as the event dates and describes a three-day program centered in downtown Anaconda. Its schedule page lists more than 40 classes and workshops, outdoor sessions at Washoe Park, a wellness market, live music and a Saturday-night somatic ecstatic dance.

The published schedule identifies Anaconda Yoga, The Cellar Room, The Montana Hotel and Washoe Park as class locations. It names teachers including Marquis Matson, Jessica Pearson, Sami Garrett, Rachel Lepley, Kathleen Karlsen, Jasmine Wolfe and Jacquie Peterson. One listed offering, Hatha & Horses with Elsa Janney, is scheduled in Deer Lodge, which indicates that not every activity is confined to Anaconda proper.

Supporting evidence

The organizer’s pages are the most direct evidence of its present plans. They provide a day-by-day schedule, individual class descriptions, check-in times and registration options. The organizer lists a three-day pass at $250, a Saturday-Sunday bundle at $200, day passes, and $25 single-class drop-ins. Its schedule page says VIP passes are sold out and that non-VIP attendees can reserve class places beginning Sept. 1.

Public records provide limited but meaningful corroboration. Anaconda-Deer Lodge County’s April 7 commission agenda listed “Anaconda Yoga Fest” as a special event at Washoe Park from Sept. 11 through Sept. 13, 2026. Visit Anaconda, the area’s destination-marketing site, also lists the festival on those dates and characterizes it as including yoga, wellness workshops, outdoor experiences, live music and downtown events.

The “second annual” description is also consistent with Anaconda Yoga’s October 2025 recap, which called the 2025 gathering the “first-ever Anaconda Yoga Fest.” That post described 2025 activities at the Montana Hotel ballroom, Washoe Park, Copper Village Museum and Anaconda Yoga.

Limitations and competing evidence

The evidence verifies current plans, not final delivery. The county agenda says the Washoe Park special-event request was pending a certificate of insurance. The record reviewed does not establish whether that condition has since been satisfied or whether the request received final approval. The organizer says outdoor classes would move indoors in the event of rain, but a final contingency plan is not independently documented.

There are also small inconsistencies in the organizer’s ticket information. The current festival page lists a $60 Friday pass, while an older-looking repeated section on that same page refers to a $40 Friday pass. The schedule page also contains the $60 figure. A cautious reading is that $60 is the current posted price, but prospective attendees should verify prices and availability directly before purchasing.

The supplied Montana Standard link remains relevant because it is the source of the central reported claim, but its content was not readable during this review. This does not undermine the independently corroborated dates and event plans; it does mean this draft does not attribute unverified details from that article beyond its accessible headline and the candidate’s supplied description.

Current conclusion

The available record supports reporting that Anaconda Yoga has scheduled its second Anaconda Yoga Fest for Sept. 11–13, 2026, with a three-day program across downtown Anaconda venues and Washoe Park. The published plans appear broader and more operationally detailed than the available retrospective account of the inaugural 2025 festival, particularly through the current schedule’s 40-plus classes and workshops, ticket tiers and named instructors. That comparison does not establish final attendance, final programming or completed county permitting. A later county approval record, updated organizer notice, cancellation, or material schedule revision would change the assessment.
