Butte activities

Get ready for a week packed with local talent and festive fun, kicking off with an Open Mic Night that shines a spotlight on Butte's very own artists.

Miner's Union Day has always been a big deal in Butte and for obvious reasons. Butte is a blue collar town which was built on the labor of hardworking miners. Unionized labor for many intents was formed right here in Butte due to unfair conditions imposed by a powerful company and many of the rights workers enjoy today are because of unions. While Butte still has a strong union presence and things have calmed down since the destruction of the Miners Union Hall over 100 years ago, things are still going to be a little bit crazy on Saturday for the Miners Union Day celebration at Butte's World Museum of Mining.

While we can't guarantee any world records, we will bet that you will find a great deal of fun with your friends at the Butte Elks' Game Night on Saturday Evening, and you may even make a couple of new ones. You may even learn a new game or two. Doors open at 6pm to adults 18 years of age and older.
