Kick off Caldwell Night Rodeo week in true Idaho style at Boots, Buckles & Brews — Indian Creek Plaza’s version of a barn dance! The Plaza transforms into a full-blown honky-tonk as it teams up with the Caldwell Night Rodeo for a night of ice-cold beer, live country music, and enough dancing to put some honest miles on those boots. A nationally recognized powerhouse ranked among the Top 20 professional rodeos in the country, CNR has earned its reputation over more than a century of grit and tradition — and this is the party that gets it all started.
The evening kicks off at 6:00 PM with line dancing led by Dirt Road Dancing — perfect for seasoned boot-stompers and first-timers alike. Then local high-energy country-rock band Scotty Mac and the Nugs takes the stage from 7:00–9:00 PM. At 7:45 PM, meet the Caldwell Night Rodeo Queen and contestants as they make a special appearance and join the crowd on the dance floor. So grab your crew, rock your fringe, and get ready for a night that feels like pure Idaho.
A few Plaza reminders: service animals only, no glass, and only alcohol purchased at the Plaza Bar may be consumed on the Plaza.

2026-08-17 - 2026-08-20 | Ford Idaho Center
Watch western horsemanship at its finest during the Idaho Cutting Horse Association’s Fall Cutting at the Ford Idaho Center Horse Park. This 11-day Futurity, Derby, and Horse Show brings together talented horses and riders for an extended run of cutting competition — one of the most exciting and skill-intensive events in the western performance horse world.
In cutting, a horse and rider work as a team to separate a single cow from the herd and prevent it from returning — relying on the horse’s natural “cow sense,” lightning-quick reflexes, and remarkable athleticism. It’s a thrilling display of instinct and training that’s captivating to watch, whether you’re a seasoned equine enthusiast or experiencing the sport for the first time. Come out to one of the Treasure Valley’s premier equestrian facilities and enjoy the action.
