Seasonal open-air market

Eighth Street
Boise, ID 83702
United States

Spend a Saturday morning wandering through this open-air market and watch the sun climb over Boise's brown mountains. Open on Saturdays from May through October, the market offers about 40 stalls with everything from Idaho's favorite vegetable, potatoes, to gourmet jams. Artists display their handcrafted works, and organic farmers reveal vegetable masterpieces. Mushrooms, peppers, flowers, breads and pastries, and even treats for dogs are featured. During the holiday season, beginning after Thanksgiving, local artists hawk handmade gifts.
