Trinity Irish Dancers

An exciting weekend of music, dance, genealogy, history and much more will be in Uptown Butte as the annual An Ri Ra Montana Irish Festival will be taking place from Friday morning until early Sunday afternoon. The festival will be centered around the Original Mine Yard with a few events taking place in nearby buildings and venues.

The welcome banner is up and the commemorative heritage signs are decorating Uptown lampposts in anticipation. August 11, 12 and 13 will see the return of the Montana Gaelic Cultural Society's An Ri Ra Festival at the Original Mineyard and again this year a bevy of workshops, dance, storytelling, music, and even Irish Road Bowling,
