This Riverside Hotel stalwart is the go-to spot for intimate live music. Every September through spring, the Sapphire Room brings national acts and local favorites to the stage — on any given night, you’ll hear jazz, blues, operettas, and more. Or, crank up the nostalgia with the Vintage Movie Night Series and settle back with classics like “Goonies” and “Elf.”

The Visual Arts Collective, or VAC, offers a showcase for performing arts, contemporary arts, and cultural programs. You’ll find a constantly rotating selection of carefully curated interactive art experiences, including concerts by artists as varied as Jason Isbell, Yo La Tengo, and local favorites Dark Swallows and Sun Blood Stories.

The Sandbar picks up where the Sapphire Room leaves off in the spring, bringing a wide range of music styles to this outdoor bar on the Riverside Hotel property. You’ll be treated to a great view of the river while enjoying Idaho wines, specialty cocktails, and talented musicians.

The Western Idaho Fair boasts a summery mix of time-honored fair events (4-H competitions, bake offs, fried indulgences) with intoxicating fun for the whole family (big-name concerts and a hopping fairway). It’s no wonder this is the biggest, most well-attended fair in Idaho!

Located in a former honky tonk, this space retains a low-key, relaxing vibe. Swing by to catch a game on the big screen, see a live band, or try your hand at cornhole and ping pong during game night. Ironwood boasts a full menu, too. Kids welcome in the bar until 8 p.m.

Comedians, national touring bands, competitions — they all grace the stage at Revolution. Large enough to support major acts but small enough to still feel intimate, this space can hold 2,200 people and includes a VIP lounge.

Cinder’s tasting room plays hosts to music events, too. Sip on handcrafted wine while enjoying face-to-face time with your favorite artist — the space is large enough for great acoustics and dancing, but small enough that you’ll feel a close connection with the performers.

Somewhere Bars’ passion is to offer our family a chance to relax and network outside their home with like-minded individuals at a shared place they all appreciate. This fostering, community mindset in turn has a positive effect on overall community here in the Treasure Valley – and even further.

This massive one-day music festival attracts thousands of people to Garden City every summer to see acts like Pit Bill, Tone Loc, and about 50 local artists across multiple stages. You’ll hear everything from rock to hip hop, country to acoustic. But there’s more than music here! Check out the carnival rides, food vendors, and activities for kids.
