It’s officially summer! Which means it’s time to get outside and enjoy all the fun, food, and friends that the Treasure Valley has to offer. We compiled a list of must-do events for you to check out this season!

Western Collective

“Western Collective is a collection of unique experiences designed to delight our community and feel like home away from home. Our space includes a brewery, coffee shop, taproom, beer garden, supply company, and swim club. We have 16 beers on draft, Frosé (a delicious rosé slushy), a full espresso bar serving Doma coffee, and delicious wines from the region. We also are home to

the Weenie Wagon, gourmet hot dogs, and brats that are served daily. We open every day at 7 a.m. and stay open until midnight on the weekends. Western Collective - where Western isn't a direction so much as a state of mind,” explains Melissa Levick, Head of Marketing and Design.

The Treasure Valley is honored to host New Yorker, Christopher Swain, who will be making his way to Idaho this summer to help promote his ongoing mission for water-quality advocacy. Invited by the Idaho Business for the Outdoors, Swain will be swimming the entire length of the Boise River over the course of several weeks.

Swain has plunged through thousands of miles of rivers and streams, many of which were less than swimmable—all in the name of water quality. And while we can be proud of the efforts we’ve made for the Boise River in the last 50 years, we need to continue to be mindful in the coming years as the population grows.

On August 24, from 10 a.m. to noon, Swain will be at Lucky Peak’s Spring Shores Marina. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet (and swim with) Swain as he continues his fight for clean, healthy, and swimmable water for everyone! The event will feature collaborations with the Boise Bike Project, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, the Idaho Business for the Outdoors, educators around the Valley, and more!

Wednesday evening Farmer's Market (organized by Capitol City Market) starting June 19th and running through the end of August. Enjoy the many vendors, food trucks, and good vibes.

Hours: Fridays - 4-9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays 12-9 p.m. On any given operating day, 34th Street Market will have random entertainment, vendors and of course, food trucks!
