There's never a shortage of great things to do in Butte Silver-Bow County. Whether shopping on the flats or uptown or enjoying LIVE entertainment, sports, fundraisers, and more, the Mining City continues to stay innovative. The Butte Winter Farmers' Market, held on select Saturdays in the Butte Plaza Mall, follows suit with an assortment of arts, crafts, food, and more now through April, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vendors will be ready to go tomorrow with a variety of items to include divinely scented body products from Silk Soapery, delicious freeze dried sweets from the Candy Man and SO MUCH MORE, including locally grown food. Plus, to help get you into the St. Patrick's Day spirit, the Butte Winter's Market will have blarney stone treats and many Irish-themed goods.

The Butte Winter Farmer's Market has been a huge success, so luckily, organizers are happy to bring it back beginning this Saturday, November 12th! Of course, it all takes place "indoors" in the Butte Plaza Mall as beautiful crops, and meticulous handmade crafts would turn into pure icicles otherwise. With the winter weather sometimes stifling people from getting from point A to point B, the "indoor" Butte Winter Farmer's Market gives people a chance to come together in a comfortable and accessible environment.

We're not even two days past Halloween, and wouldn't you know it; it's time to move on to another excellent event underway, but this time for the holiday season. The calendar doesn't lie as Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, which means another wonderful rendition of the "Butte"iful Christmas Craft Show is coming! This spectacular, feel-good craft show for the whole family will take place at the Front Street Station in Butte on Saturday, November 26th, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, November 27th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Fall is definitely in the air. With that comes plenty of autumn festivals, sporting events, family gatherings, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and traditional outings such as the Hillcrest Harvest Bazaar. This event has been a Butte tradition for years, and is set to take place, Saturday, October 22nd at the Butte Plaza Mall. Originated 46 years ago, the Hillcrest Harvest Bazaar is a fundraiser for the Hillcrest School Association. Similar to recent years, the Bazaar is set to display for purchase, incredible arts and crafts created by a wide range of participants. Per organizers, the event would not be possible without the help of so many local volunteers who care about the future of Hillcrest Elementary School, plus the children and parents of the community.
