The 2023 edition of "Rhythm and Brews" at the Original Mineyard was off to possibly its best start in event history. In fact, the party was in full swing, and kids and adults alike were having a great time. And then the storm hit. Saturday evening's freak lightning storm and torrential downpour put an abrupt end to the event just after 5pm. But other than the early end and soaked partygoers, the fundraiser for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Butte was a big success. Here's a look at some of the fun that was had before the clouds opened.

Music on Main is entering its final 3 weeks but things are by no means slowing down. In fact, with the number of food trucks expected tonight along with one of Butte's favorite bands performing, you could say that they are indeed gearing up for a big finish.

Weren't we just talking about how we couldn't believe summer was finally here? Well just like that we are in mid-August and down to the final two "Lunch in the Park" events at Emma Park that we've enjoyed over the past several weeks. Tomorrow it is going to be one of the hottest days of the year and Emma Park will have several ways for folks to enjoy the sunshine and a number of delicious options for lunch.

If there was one complaint from people who attended the first Food Truck Festival last April outside of Collective Elevation on Galena Street, it was that the lines for food were too long. The food trucks and tents on site were being run ragged with orders from the larger-than-expected crowd. All day. Which, of course, was music to their ears. Well, it didn't take long for word to get out to other area vendors and that is why you are going to find a ridiculous number of food trucks, tents and carts for the Butte Food Truck Festival and Block Party which will again be taking place on East Galena Street centered at Collective Elevation at 34 E. Galena.

You can bet you will hear original selections from Juniper Creek's new EP as well as their unique covers of many more at Emma Park on Wednesday as they are scheduled to go on at 11:30am. Bring your picnic blankets, your lawn chairs and your appetites as the fine folks from Bissful Berry Bowls are expected as well as, Charee's Thai Food, Rockin' MT Big Sky West Mex, Blissful Berry Bowls, 406 Fresh and Extra Sprinkles.
