We don’t get much snow in the valley, but when we do, it’s a treat to see Boise transform into a winter wonderland. The foothills covered in white are always a beautiful backdrop to downtown.

Boise music lovers, is there anything better than our very own, homegrown music festival? Treefort has been filling the streets and our ears with goodness since 2012, and we couldn’t be prouder to host this growing yearly event.
This Vineyard Covered in Snow
You may not realize it, but Idaho’s high desert climate and soil are ideal for growing grapes for wine. Boise’s backyard is quickly becoming an oasis of vineyards and wineries as the burgeoning wine industry of Idaho matures.
