Butte Symphony

Tonight’s the night to savor great food and music under the stars at Stodden Park. A perfect way to wrap up the season, don’t you think?

There is just something about outdoor music in the second half of summer that rings true to a lot of us, and there might not be a more fitting way to end the season's "Lunch in the Park" series than with "Dinner in the Park". That's exactly what's happening tonight, and this might just be the best one of the summer, as the Butte Symphony will spread across the Emma Park Gazebo (and probably into the adjoining space) to entertain hungry music lovers of all ages starting at 5:30pm. Under the direction of Luis Millan, the Butte Symphony is in its 74th season of bringing the joy and healing power of music to Southwest Montana and tonight's performance is completely free of charge.

For 74 seasons, the Butte Symphony has been bringing the world's greatest music to Butte and Southwest Montana. Join them this season, their 14th under conductor Luis Millan. A very special presentation is coming to the Mother Lode Theater on February 17 as part of the Butte Symphony Series, a show called "American Made".

This Wednesday, Lunch in the Park will move to the evening and become Dinner in the Park and a fantastic evening is planned for those attending the event at Emma Park. The gazebo will certainly be near occupancy as the Butte Symphony will provide the music and many familiar food trucks will be on hand including familiar favorites such as Charee's Thai Food, Extra Sprinkles, 406 Fresh, Rockin' MT and Blissful Berry Bowls plus this week there will be full bar service available for those 21 years of age and older.

The holiday season is action-packed, and Saturday, DECEMBER 10th, is twofold! Here's a list of festive events to check out all in one day on the 10TH in the surrounding area, or choose your top two or three favorites!
