Montana tourism

What does tourism mean to Butte? Well, just walk through the Uptown on any given Summer weekend and chances are pretty good that you're going to find some sort of festival or celebration going on and you'll definitely see a lot of out-of-state license plates. Head to a fishing access point or boat launch and chances are you'll be waiting your turn, as well. The winter brings a myriad of skiing and snowmobiling adventurers from across the globe to our neck of the woods and our area's natural splendor and inviting demeanor more often than not leads to repeat visitors. Tourism is a huge part of not only Butte's economy but of the entire state's as well, and it is with that in mind the Montana Chamber of Commerce is hosting their 2nd Annual Convergence Festival on May 21st and 22nd here in the Mining City.

The Butte Chamber of Commerce is hosting a "Super Hero Workshop" for any interested front-line workers who come into regular contact with visitors to our city. The workshop will equip you with the tools to educate visitors on where to stay and eat. Where to shop. What unique local attractions we have to offer. It will be taking place in the conference room of the Butte Comfort Inn on Tuesday, May 7th. There will be two sessions to choose from, one from 9am to 10:30am and the other from 11am until 12:30pm. Prizes will be given away throughout the day.

This year, $20,000 will be granted to the Montana Folk Festival by the Foundation. This support will be doubled by the ongoing challenge grant of the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation.
