5 Festivals to Finish Out Your Summer

We’re starting to turn the corner to the second half of summer (wild!) but there’s still so much more on our community events calendar. When it comes to festivals, Marissa Lovell has the download on what to check out before the season wraps up. She’s the writer and editor of the From Boise newsletter, which is a great source for concerts listings and other rad events going on around the community. (Plus, we’re partnering with From Boise so you’ll see us talking eachother up on the regular!) 

From an annual Basque Block party to a new music and mural festival in Garden City (plus a soul food-inspired weekend, a local film festival at the old Idaho State Pen and a bike-powered party in downtown) — our weekends are looking pretty booked through September. 

Oh, and please mask up and try to stick with mostly outdoor, distanced events! COVID-19 is still a problem in Boise ya’ll. With a new and sneakier variant going around, we’re officially in “yikes” territory with community spread. If it feels like everyone around you is getting sick, it’s because they probably are. Please stay home if you’re feeling sick!
