Nightlife in Yellowstone itself revolves around campfires and evening ranger programs, although hotels and inns have bars and sitting lounges with soft music playing in the background. Visitors should also check out Concerts in the Park in the summer months.
Bars and restaurants in the park's gateway communities of West Yellowstone, Cooke City and Gardiner, among others, offer live music, gambling and other entertainment on weekends and some weeknights. Local theaters feature films, concerts and plays. There are also plenty of summer festivals at Yellowstone National Park.
