Summer in Southwest Idaho

A 4th to Remember

Make this year’s 4th of July get-together one to remember. Cities across our region host family-friendly celebrations filled with fun:

Cascade: Thunder Mountain Days brings a parade, duck races, fireworks over the lake, and more to this mountain town. More…

McCall: A swell of people visit over July 4th to enjoy the Lakeside Liberty Fest, capped by fireworks at dusk. Book with McCall Lake Cruises for an up close and personal view. More…

Caldwell: A big, fun-for-the-entire-family celebration in Indian Creek Plaza. Splash pads, foam pits, and plenty of food and drink. More…

Meridian: An afternoon of food trucks, music, and picnicking at Storey Park followed by fireworks at 10:20pm at nearby Meridian Speedway. More…

Boise: A festive parade in the morning followed by music-synced fireworks at 10:15pm at Ann Morrison Park. More…

Bonus: Eagle Fun Days the weekend after the 4th (July 7th & 8th)… a three-day festival featuring a parade, car show, and live music. More…

Now this is a quintessential Boise experience. Shakespeare (and other plays) performed in a beautiful riverfront venue.

Pack your picnic lunch or pick something up there. This year’s plays include “As You Like It” and “Little Shop of Horrors.” Read More.
