Idaho events

Idaho is famous for its beautiful natural landscapes, but dotted amid its spectacular stretches of wilderness are towns and cities with live entertainment calendars packed with a wide variety of events. Boise, Idaho's capital and largest city, presents the greatest range of arts and cultural offerings, but the state's smaller cities and rural towns shouldn't be overlooked. From the college town of Pocatello to cosmopolitan Coeur d'Alene, cities across Idaho offer great entertainment to entice visitors and locals alike.
