Butte is one of the great character towns of the American West, and its events match its mining-city swagger. The Montana Folk Festival each July is the state's largest free music event, with stages set up among the historic headframes of uptown's mining district. An Ri Ra, the Montana Irish Festival, celebrates the city's deep Irish mining roots each August — and Butte's St. Patrick's Day is legendary across the Rockies, drawing crowds that multiply the city's population for a day. The restored Mother Lode Theatre keeps concerts and performances going through the long winters, in a town that has never lacked for stories.
