Jim Keane screws together a portion of the dance floor in the Lexington Gardens stage during setup for the Montana Folk Festival on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 in Butte. “There’s something for everyone. Older folks can sit and watch … younger people can participate,” said Keane. “If you want to really understand what makes a folk festival special, it’s the variety of entertainers from across the world. And you have to thank the vol… volunteers who show up a week early. Without the volunteers, it would never happen like it is.”
Music and laughter will once again echo throughout the Butte Hill as the Montana Folk Festival returns to the city Friday.
