An Ri Ra Montana Irish Festival

The An Ri Ra Montana Irish Festival is coming up on a milestone this summer. The weekend of August 9th through the 11th will be the festival's 20th year in the Mining City and organizers are expecting the best festival to date. In February, organizers announced the headlining performers for this years festival at the Original Mineyard and attendees are in for a treat as The Elders, Altan, The Spain Brothers and the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance will be this year's headliners.

Prior to agreeing to the inevitable "move", I had in the back of my mind a great interest in attending the An Ri Ra Irish Festival in Butte. So, as things unraveled, I found myself roping my 84 year old "teenage like" mother into an outing at the Original Mine Yard for this glorious Festival!
