Montana Folk Festival

The Montana Folk Festival is finally here along with the question of "how in the heck do we get there"? The festival is spread out over the northeastern part of Uptown Butte but as we all know, parking and mobility can be an issue. How do we get there and where do we park?

Please welcome Legend Cyril Neville to Butte, for the Montana Folk Festival.

The Montana Folk Festival has grown into one of the biggest and most successful events of the summer in Montana because of the incredible array of world music and culture that it brings to the Mining City. And this year for three performances, organizers needed to look no further than our own backyard to fill some important spots on the performance schedule. Say hello once again to the popular duo The Berkeley Pits, veteran singer/songwriter Chad Okrusch and welcome the relatively new but very talented band Juniper Creek to this year's lineup.

I want to introduce you to Melody Angel, and welcome her to Butte for the Montana Folk Festival.

This weekend's Montana Folk Festival is going to bring 21 big name performers along with tens of thousands of spectators and fans to the stage at the Original Mineyard and several other locations throughout Uptown Butte. Now, we've all been to big events and concerts over the years, and we've all seen "those people". The people who make the concert or festival experience worse for everyone in their immediate vicinity. What they do, while technically not illegal, is certainly pretentious and annoying. Who are "those people", but more importantly how do you not become one of them?

Yesterday we took a look at some of the items you'll need if you're attending this weekend's Montana Folk Festival. Things like sunscreen, toiletries and spare cash. Today we are going to look at a few things that should be left at home.

Street Closures for the Montana Folk Festival have started, here is a look at what to expect by the weekend.

The Montana Folk Festival will take over Uptown Butte this weekend with over 100,000 music lovers, artists, performers and vendors taking part in what has become the biggest festival of the summer in a city becoming well known for festivals. Planning on coming? Here are a few things you'll need to bring along.

This will be the 14th year overall for the festival in Butte
