Good morning, Butte.

Four Montana counties are on America’s worst list for DUI fatalities based on 2022 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration — the report shows our state makes up one fifth of the 21 counties and highlights the ongoing issue with impaired driving.

On Saturday, crowds at the Montana Folk Festival in Uptown Butte enjoyed warm, pristine weather as bluegrass music filled the Original Mine Yard.

The free three-day event continues today from noon to 6:30 p.m. + organizers expect more local visitors to experience its unique charm.

Today, the Montana Folk Festival in Butte brings families together as a mother-daughter team showcases traditional beadwork—with designs that honor their family heritage—at the First Peoples Market.

The event draws community members throughout the weekend who celebrate art, music, and local culture.
