Cruise Nites in Butte are on again for the Summer.

The 2023 schedule has been rolled out for Cruise Nite here in the Mining City and it looks like it's going to be another very good year. Cruise Nites again will fall on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8pm and will generally follow an every-other-week schedule. Each week, listeners and readers of Townsquare Media in Butte are invited to join us at a different location to compete for the "People's Choice Awards" which are determined by popular vote and awarded to the top-voted car or truck and motorcycle.

Well, we had some concerns about the weather, but everything turned out good as the summer of 2023 edition of Cruise Nites got underway at GTR Towing and Repair at 8 Dewey Blvd. Despite looming clouds, the turnout was good as a fine selection of classic cars and trucks, motorcycles, hot rods and even a DeLorean were among the contestants.

Dozens of mine headframes used to dot the Butte hill but most have since been torn down or swallowed by the Pit. Here are the ones that still tower proudly over our town.
