The hottest music ticket belongs to the Boise Music Festival.

While you're there, pick a BBQ contest winner, eat BBQ, drink beer and shop craft vendor booths for unique goods.
A hub for outdoor activities is Boise National Forest . The scenic park is home to steep mountains, speedy rivers and a dense forest that invites visitors to ride a bike on the bicycle path, rent a canoe or kayak, catch a fish, and eat out at the wooded picnic areas while watching wildlife.
Go with the flow at Liquid Lounge, located in the heart of downtown Boise. Chill with friends at a nightlife destination bent on presenting notable talent like Ned Evett, "the world's first fretless guitar rockstar" so says Guitar Magazine, and serving up the perfect adult beverages while making sure you don't have to surrender your Amex Gold Card.
Roar with the waves at Roaring Springs Waterpark. Family fun begins with a poolside Cabana rental for a splashing good time on exhilarating water rides and attractions like Thunder Falls, Vipers Vortex, Rattlesnake Rapids and Racing Ridge. Enjoy fun and food at the Surfside Grill and splashy souvenirs from Splish Splash Sun & Swim Shop.
