The Montana Folk Festival is one of the Northwest’s Largest FREE Outdoor Music Festivals. The Festival features performances and demonstrations by over 200 of the nation’s finest musicians, dancers and craftspeople. It showcases multiple performances by more than 20 Artists/groups on six stages including a dance pavilion dedicated to participatory dancing, a family stage with performances appealing to children of all ages, and a Montana folklife stage. In addition to the performance stages, there are several themed festival areas: the Montana Folklife Area, the Family Area, two Festival Marketplaces and the Festival Food Courts.

The festival site is situated in the heart of the nation’s largest National Historic Landmark District. Open air and tented sites will provide a variety of performance venues ranging from intimate stages to amphitheater-sized venues. The Original Stage, which offers a panoramic view of Butte’s historic high rise buildings and the surrounding mountains, is located on the site of the historic Original Mineyard, with its dramatic headframe that is a remnant of Butte’s early days as an underground copper mining center.

The Maguires are particularly grateful to George Everett and Ellen Buchanan who were first to book us for a US performance.  Arising out of that booking, we put together our US Summer Tour 2017, but it wouldn’t have happened without George and Ellen, thanks guys.  We look forward to repaying their kindness with lively and engaging performances in Butte in July.  Woohoo!
