Butte, Montana is hosting the 70th National Folk Festival and we are going! Yippeeee! More culture! No really, we are looking forward to what looks like a fantastic event. We are making the trip with friends Steve and Marilyn.
Butte is hosting the world famous event for the next three years. There will be a wide variety of music, dance and tradition from across America. This is the first time in 40 years that the Festival is west of the Mississippi River, and the first time ever in Montana. There is an extensive list of artists and performers who will be showcased on 7 stages. And it's being held in the historic district of Butte which will be something to see all by itself.
Their website gives a good example of what we will enjoy and experience. http://www.nationalfolkfestival.com/ You can see or hear excerpts from many of the performers on the website.
I hope you check back to read about the event. You know I'll have photos!
