Butte Celebrations

Easter is just around the corner, and those colorful eggs are calling! Families are gearing up for a weekend of joyful hunts.

Again this year, our friends at the Butte America Foundation are undertaking the huge task of organizing and putting on one of the best 4th of July parades in Montana. If you or your business or organization would like to take part, here is what you need to know.

As is customary in Butte, America, any good celebration gets underway a day early. Just look at Christmas Eve or St. Uhro's Day if you need proof. The 3rd of July is almost a bigger deal in Butte than Independence Day itself thanks to an amazing fireworks show and leadup parties. Butte's geography only adds to the intrigue. Have you figured out where you and your family are going to watch the Town Pump fireworks show? If you haven't, here are a few suggestions.

The Pipe and Drum Band of the Edmonton Police Service is coming back to Butte for St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Since the 1980s their family-friendly performances have become synonymous with St. Patrick's Day in Butte and their whirlwind three-day Mining City tour schedule is up for this weekend's events.
