TOTFEST 2024: Photos of a Spud-Tacular Music Event in Missoula

Long ago,  Walking Corpse Syndrome's former frontman Leif had a craving for a proper tater tot casserole. He reached out to social media for suggestions on how to make the best tater tot casserole. Soon after he wrote the message, he passed out. But, when he woke the next day, he had people battling over who had the best recipe.

That sparked the music/food festival we call TOTFEST. It is a festival that features live performances from rock and metal bands while celebrating all things TATER TOTS. This action-packed "spud-tacular" is happed again this year.

19 bands played two stages over the course of a hot summer day in Missoula. All to raise money for kids at Watson Children's Shelter. Not to mention the "Hot Dish Cookoff" and the tater tot eating contest that went down at the Dark Horse in Missoula. The event had an awesome turnout of people who love music, helping kids, and eating potato scraps.

Check out all of the photos from this year's fundraiser. All thanks to the artistic eye of one of the event coordinators Emily Lynn. (note: Emily was the one who got engaged at the show...We may have cried a little)
