Montana Folk Festival Hits Butte

Montana’s biggest free music fest hits Butte in just under 40 days—July 10-12—with 22 acts across 6 stages, blending Zydeco, Go-Go, Honky Tonk, Caribbean Soul, blues, Cajun, bluegrass, and reggae. Beyond the beats: a Native fashion show, First Peoples’ Market, family zone, and interactive artist talks revealing how one instrument can span genres. Celebrating America’s 250th birthday in the Folk Life area, the event runs on donations, volunteers, and sponsorships—with the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation matching $100K after local businesses met the challenge. Free shuttles, a return of the indoor St. Mary’s stage, and a big tent over Granite Street keep the vibe alive despite the heat.
