 Chasing The Blues |
8025, West Chinden Boulevard Farmer Brown's Amphitheater Boise, ID 83646 United States +1 208 336 0308 http://www.boiseblues.org/blue... neb@fiberpipe.net |
This fairly new event calls for a family outing. Groove to the blues music played by live bands. Take a gastronomic tour through food gardens. You can pull up a seat at the beer gardens where skilled brewers offer large pints of the comfort drink. Browse through the various wares vendors put up on display. Cheer and hoot during the motorcycle show. All these and much more. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hee-haw! Get five days of nonstop rodeo excitement in the third week of August each year. Watch cowboys sit on bulls and broncos, race wild horses and rope calves.

World-famous rodeo |
5000 Garrity Boulevard Boise, ID 83653 United States +1 208 466 8497 http://www.snakeriverstampede.... sstampede@earthlink.net |
No trip to Idaho is complete without taking in a rodeo. Luckily, one of the most famous rodeos in the world takes place every July in Nampa, about 16 miles from Boise. This more than 80-year-old tradition has been called "the wildest, fastest show on earth." Recently moving from its outdoor arena to the indoor Idaho Center, the rodeo also offers first-rate country-western performers, as well as world pro rodeo stars. Tickets run from USD4 to USD26.
