We experience all 4 seasons here. So, if you like fall colors, or warm sunny days or colder weather, you can have them all. The region doesn’t get too cold in the winter and the summers, though sometimes hot, are tempered by the dry climate, cool nights and pleasant breeze. The high desert climate also means clear skies and sunny days!

BOISE MUSIC FESTIVAL2 4 6 N 8 T H S T , B O I S E , I D

Every weekend there is a festival of some sort happening.Sometimes it is music; other times it is about art. Eitherway, we like to get together, have fun and appreciate thetalents of others performing or creating. People come fromall over the world for several of them, like McCall’s WinterCarnival or Art in the Park. Many times it is about thepeople attending as much as it is the headliner. And don’tthink we don’t attract talent! Check out the local concertsthis year and all the stars that put Boise on their tour.
