In only 6 years, the Boise Music Festival has become one of the most iconic family events in the Treasure Valley attracting attendees from across the state and the Pacific Northwest. The 7th annual Boise Music Festival on Saturday, June 25, at Expo Idaho in Garden City, provides a full day of music and family entertainment, from 10:00am to 10:00pm.
Located throughout the Expo Idaho fairgrounds are seven music stages. The Main Stage is headlined by five to eight national recording artists. Six smaller stages showcase up to sixty local and regional musicians and artists from across Idaho and the Northwest. Music lovers can enjoy performances from a variety of genres: acoustic, pop, country, bluegrass, folk, rock, hip-hop and alternative.
But it's not only the music, this one-day festival experience offers so much more to see and do:
