Thursdays At Jaycee Park Bring Dinner And Live Music To Dillon

If you like enjoying music, great food, good company and the beautiful Southwest Montana summer, this year is turning into a cornucopia. Tonight, we have Friends of the Family kicking off the Music on Main series in Uptown Butte. Yesterday, High Ore Road helped the Butte Chamber of Commerce start up the 2026 Lunch in the Park series at Emma Park in Uptown Butte and last weekend Chad Okrusch made the Americonda festival in Anaconda successful for the second straight year. Next weekend is the Montana Folk Festival. But that's not all. Our friends in Dillon are creating some fun of their own that you need to know about.

DINNER IN THE PARK AT JAYCEE PARK

Starting July 9th and running on Thursdays through August 6th is Dinner in the Park at Jaycee Park. Have you seen Jaycee Park in Dillon? It's a wonderful place for kids and families and a great place to visit any time.

Thursday evenings will be particularly fun, though, as Dinner in the Park will bring the community together with food, music and fun. Dinner will start at 5 and will be provided by a local civic organization for a reasonable charge. At 6pm the music will start and that is free for all to enjoy. This year's lineup will feature two Butte bands, the aforementioned High Ore Road on July 23rd and also the incredible trio, JST US on July30th. The other names are also familiar to live music fans in our area. Here is the full list.
