What’s Going On This Weekend in Butte? Labor Day ’24

BUTTE, MT - I see it all the time: people asking me, others, Facebook, or even themselves what they want to do this weekend.

Living here in Butte, people think that their only options are to go to a restaurant, a bar, or a casino. I've made it my personal mission to dissuade those who feel this way and to inform the greater region beyond Butte that we in fact do have a ton of cool stuff going on every weekend.

Don't believe me? Here are some of the best events you don't want to miss this Labor Day weekend (August 30th - September 2nd, 2024) in Butte.
