The Montana Folk Festival strives to feature as much culinary variety and diversity on our food courts as we do on our stages with tasty regional, ethnic and festival food that takes diners on a culinary journey around Montana, America and the world. Selections include unique regional dishes from the many immigrant groups who have settled in the Butte area, a city noted for its ethnic specialties like Pork Chop sandwiches, Sarma, Povitica, and of course, Cornish Pasties. From familiar favorites like funnel cakes, hot dogs and pizza, to international offerings, desserts, fresh-squeezed lemonade and huckleberry smoothies, there’s something for every palate.
