When was the last time you attended a classic Montana festival? Despite having a natural knack for social distancing, Montanans do love to come together and celebrate life. And as luck would have it, the annual SNoFLINGA in Butte will be taking place in January once again. Things will definitely be different this year, but there’s still a fantastic line-up your entire family can enjoy.

SNoFLINGA is held in Butte every January, a weekend of fun meant to shine a light on the long, dark, cold winter.

But plenty of Montanans come each year simply to enjoy watching the fun and to cheer on their family and friends.
Usually, the event is full of winter events, from Nordic ski races and fat bike races to skijorning.
