🎇 July Heading in to August 2026

Summer Fun Guide 🌞:

Boise, Eagle, Meridian & all of the Treasure Valley

August in the Treasure Valley

Summer hits its final stretch and August doesn't slow down one bit. Kuna Days kicks things off with one of the biggest small-town blowouts in the valley, San Inazio wraps its Basque Block celebration, and the Boise Soul Food Festival and Nampa Festival of the Arts fill the first full weekend. Ford Idaho Center's amphitheater goes into overdrive with a stacked run of national touring acts, the Idaho Shakespeare Festival swaps Sweeney Todd for The Winter's Tale, and rodeo season reaches its peak with the Caldwell Night Rodeo, one of the top-ranked PRCA rodeos in the country. The month closes out with the Western Idaho Fair, ten straight days of midway rides, livestock barns, and fair food to send summer off right.

Concerts under the stars, county fairs, rodeo lights, or a float down the river — here's everything happening across the valley this August.
