Lunch in the Park at Emma Park Finale Wednesday with Ken Rich

It's hard to believe that we are at the end of the Lunch in the Park season for the Summer of 2026 but here we are.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that they may have very well saved the best for last, at least in terns of musical talent.

Ken Rich will be bringing his one-man-show to Emma Park with music starting at 11:30am and it is fair to say that Ken does many songs better by himself than what many bands try to do as an ensemble  (I know this because I am in one of those bands.)   Nothing against High Ore Road, Slovie's Love or John Stenson, but Ken Rich is simply on another level.  Rock, country, classics, pop, you name it.  His repertoire is extensive and continuously updated.

While Ken's set list is ever-changing, the food truck lineup at Lunch in the Park remains consistent with eight of Southwest Montana's finest lining the park's northern perimeter.  Between Pizza Hut, Blissful Berry Bowls, Extra Sprinkles, Charee's Thai Food, Turk's Food Truck, Carbonation Station, Copper City Cravings and Piece of Crepe expected to once again be on hand.

Lunch in the Park will run from 11:30am to 1:30pm and outside food and coolers are more than welcome but again, please leave your pets at home.  The event has been a service of the Butte Parks and Trails Foundation and has gotten plenty of local support from sponsors like TDS Fiber, Town Pump and the Butte-Silver Bow Parks and Recreation Department.
