Anyone have the low down on upcoming events here in the TV?
Just moved here 2 months ago and looking for some info on family friendly
events near Boise.

Thanks guys!

The Fair's going to be in Garden City at some point.  Huey Lewis will be there as well.

Ages of kids?  Interests?

Hike up to Table Rock in either morning, or evening, to watch the sunrise/sunset can be fun.  The Western Idaho Fair is in August.

Namely, each week there is Alive after 5 concert series downtown.  There is also First Thursday (each month).  Once we can get through all of the run-off and re-open the greenbelt, there will be random things in the parks, the zoo used to do a sleepover/Night at the Zoo event. Movies in the Park- Julia Davis Bandshell, or at Settlers Park in Meridian.   Lots of people float the Boise, but I have a feeling it won't be available until August.  Disc golf at Ann Morison.  Do you have a GPS?  Maybe go geocaching?  Old Idaho Penitentiary, tons of museums.  Go white water rafting up at Banks on the S. Fork of the Payette.  Stand up paddle Boarding at the new Esther Simplot Park & Quinn's Pond.  Once it gets hotter, if you're brave enough, go to the Boise River whitewater park and try surfing.  Day trip up to Idaho City, go check out the World Center for Birds of Prey.



A lot of people like to be outside, so hiking, fishing, riding bicycles, camping, etc.  All pretty easy to get to from here.  


Here are some random links.

I'm sure others might chime in.  Give us some more details and we'll try to offer more help.  Also, since you registered your vehicle, did you add the state Parks pass for $10?  If you go to Eagle Island, Lucky Peak or any of the State Parks twice, it's paid for.  If not, contact the DMV, tell them you recently relocated to Boise, but didn't know about it and see if you can get it.  It's two little stickers that go on the outside of your windshield, about the size of the sticker that goes on your plates.

Wow! Thanks for all the info, thats great!


I have a 3 yo and 1 yo. The wife and I like fairs, flea markets, farmers markets and bike rides with the kids in the trailers. Weve been to table rock and it was really cool. Really we like all outdoor venues where you can walk around and look at stuff and maybe buy a thing or two. Just stuff to get out of the house on nice days!

Thanks, Noah
