Boise Festivals


Because of the weather and astounding scenery, Boise is a hub for festivals and outdoor events. Planning your Boise bed and breakfast vacation around these festivals is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy both what the city has to offer and the special events Boise is so proud of. Art in the Park attracts exhibitors from across the country to Boise to show their wares each summer. Another popular event among bed and breakfast travelers is the Gene Harris Jazz Festival, which is held every April and features some of the most famous jazz musicians in the United States. If you are a Shakespeare lover, then the Idaho Shakespeare Festival can be another great feature to your Boise bed and breakfast vacation. If your Boise bed and breakfast vacation falls during the winter, then along with skiing and snowboarding, there is another wonderful Boise festival called Christmas in the City, which takes place throughout the whole holiday season and features a Candle Lantern Parade, special bazaars and live Nativity scenes. Enjoy the wonder of the most magical season in a truly special place—Boise, Idaho!
