SNöFLINGA Promotes Winter Recreation in Butte, MT

Swedish for “snowflake”, SNöFLINGA is a community-sponsored festival that takes place in and around Butte during the winter months. A group of winter enthusiasts from Butte got together in November 2015 to brainstorm ways to encourage recreation in the community during the winter months. In 2016, SNöFLINGA came to life.  What started in 2016 as a small winter festival with a few outdoor activities has expanded to include over 18 activities across 8 different venues.

The Three-day event is run by the Butte Community Fitness Foundation (BCFF) with generous support from business sponsors, grant sponsors, community volunteers, and a mainly volunteer-powered festival organizing team.
