The National Folk Festival features a variety of tasty regional, ethnic and fair food that takes diners on a culinary journey around Montana, America and around the world. The diversity of selections will include unique regional dishes from Montana’s First Peoples like Indian fry bread and from the many immigrant groups who have settled in the Butte area, a city noted for its ethnic specialties like Serbian povitica and Cornish pasties. From familiar favorites like funnel cakes, hot dogs and pizza, to international offerings, desserts, fresh-squeezed lemonade and smoothies, there’s something for every palate.
