The hottest music ticket belongs to the Boise Music Festival. Meet your friends at Ann Morrison Park and experience five stages hosting performances by bands in the ranks with artists like Macy Gray, Bret Michaels of Poison, and the Backstreet Boys. While you're there, pick a BBQ contest winner, eat BBQ, drink beer and shop craft vendor booths for unique goods.
The Boise Art Museum serves up piping hot permanent art installations and attractions like the Comics at Crossroads exhibit rendering decades of comics, the Full Circle exhibit honoring a universal symbol, and Catherine Courtenaye exhibit of colorful abstracts lettered with Victorian penmanship and quotes.
It sure is fishy at the Morrison Knudsen Nature Center. The 4.6-acre wildlife center sits alongside the Boise River Greenbelt and offers a fish eyes view of Boise's stream environment. Popular inhabitants like great blue herons, quail, muskrats and mink will greet you on the outdoor nature walk.
