Here is your chance to come and party in Butte, the hometown of American legend Evel Knievel (1938-2007) during Evel Knievel Days. The community has a storied historic past in copper mining and features the largest National Historic Landmark District in the West.
City boosters and sponsors are laying out the welcome mat for all Evel fans. The celebration will feature fun events like a parade, poker run, social, fireworks, lots of music, daredevil stunts, classic motorcycle & car show and the new EVEL exhibit.
The event in Butte is timed to attract riders on their way to Sturgis or visitors cruising through the Big Sky Country of Montana. Butte is located just three hours away from Yellowstone National Park and five hours away from Glacier National Park.
Evel Knievel Days (last weekend in July). A drive along Butte's Evel Knievel Loop any time of the year will explain where Evel Knievel came from (Butte is his hometown) and why he was so proud of his Butte roots.
