Boise Water Lantern Festival
2026-08-15 18:00 - 22:30 UTC | Julia Davis Park, 700 S Capitol Blvd, Boise, ID, 83702
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.

Fast-rising country phenom Ty Myers brings The Legal Tour 2026 to the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater for a night of soulful, genre-blending music. Still just a teenager when he first broke through, Myers has quickly become one of country and Americana’s most talked-about young talents — blending country, blues, folk, and rock into a sound that feels both fresh and timeless. With a rich voice well beyond his years and a rapidly growing catalog of standout songs, he’s an artist on the rise you’ll want to catch up close.
The stacked supporting bill brings even more roots-music talent: Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Brent Cobb and rising artist Benny G join as special guests, making for a full night of authentic, heartfelt music worth arriving early for.
Set against the open-air backdrop of the Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater, this is summer-concert energy at its finest — a spacious outdoor venue built for warm evenings, big choruses, and thousands of fans singing along together. Grab your seats or settle into the lawn, and make a night of it.
