Caldwell Night Rodeo KICKOFF PARTY
2026-08-15 18:00 - 21:00 | Indian Creek Plaza, 120 S Kimball Ave, Caldwell, Idaho, 83605
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.

Experience a night you’ll remember forever at the Boise Water Lantern Festival, voted the #1 festival in the world by USA Today. Held at the beautiful Julia Davis Park, this magical evening brings friends, families, and neighbors together to light up the water with thousands of glowing floating lanterns, each carrying personal messages of love, hope, and reflection.

The evening is a full experience from start to finish. Gates open at 6:00 PM, with food trucks, live music, lawn games, and festival fun to enjoy as the sun goes down. Around 8:30 PM you’ll design and personalize your own lantern, then join the crowd for the breathtaking lantern launch from 9:00–10:00 PM — a serene, once-in-a-lifetime moment as the water fills with light. Every ticket includes a lantern kit, LED candle, markers, and the full launch experience, and a professional photo team captures the moment for free. The festival is proudly eco-friendly, with 100% of lanterns collected afterward and biodegradable materials throughout.

Whether it’s date night, a family outing, or a meaningful celebration, this is an evening of magic and reflection you won’t want to miss.
