Boise Events From April to September

Tweet

Today, I got a newsletter from Boise's mayor telling me about things going on in the community. They are changing the city flag. Why I don't know. Being a traditionalist I like the old one. We have a Farmer's Market and a Capitol City Public Market all summer. I'd like to go and see what goodies they have. In April and May will be a YMCA Marathon on the Greenbelt and the 100th Anniversary of the Boise Train Depot. It's been closed for years but the building is amazing. You can climb up into the tower and see a rare view of Boise in the bell tower. In June we will have the Art and Roses in Julia Davis' Rose Garden. It's beautiful and a favorite haunt of mine. The picture is of the garden. Neighborhood concerts in the many parks and a Dandelion Festival. In July of course there will be fireworks put on by the city in several areas. And toward the end of the month is the Jaialdi celebration which is the Basque celebration downtown. They have great food and the music is wonderful. In August we have a Soul Food Festival, an Indian Food Festival, and a Comic Arts Festival too. In September we the famous Hyde Park Street Fair. We used to go every year. Artists and crafters from all over the country come to sell their wares. It's a great place to find unique and beautiful items to wear or decorate your home. Also a Pride Fest and Japan Day. There is always something fun. I wish I could get out more and enjoy some of these things. But without transportation, it is a real hassle getting all over town, especially on the weekends. I love Boise and could never leave here to go live somewhere else. The picture is from fascinatewithzea.com
