BET (Butte Events Team) on Butte is a concept developed by several local entities with the goal of sustaining, in the long term, the feasibility of Butte's Festival City identity. The idea behind the BET is to establish a trust account that all festivals will be able to apply to for funds, and is in no way looking to provide full funding for all community festivals, rather a common source of funding for the shared needs of our many festivals. Putting the common expenses such as toilets, garbage control, fencing, insurance, stages, tents, and security under one umbrella would hopefully provide great communication and efficiency.
Public support will be crucial as they hope to have funding through URA, Economic Development Mill Levy, and the Hard Rock Trust and at some point the Superfund Redevelopment Trust. Once the group is created and the fund started, organizers hope to look for other avenues of funding for the long term goals of BET on Butte.
