It is hard to imagine that there even was a festival here only a couple of days after the event, but the festival drew a record crowd this year, and Butte hosted approximately 175,000 attendees over the three days of the event. An on-site survey of visitors resulted in 536 completed surveys and will yield valuable data about visitor behavior in Butte and the area. Early results of attendees indicate that visitors reported coming from many foreign locations as well as from many states across the country. Meanwhile, for anyone who missed it, images and videos of the festival are coming in soon and will be increasingly available over the next two weeks on the festival website at montanafolkfestival or here at the festival Facebook page.
