Don't Miss These 4 Special Hot Air Balloons in Boise This Weekend

It is the most wonderful time of the year and it has absolutely nothing to do with Santa, snow, or gifts. That's right, we're re-writing the script!

Here in Boise, many things make living great. From outdoor activities to great local businesses, four distinct seasons to a much "slower" day to day pace. Other aspects of what makes Boise great? Our amazing annual events.

How many annual events would be considered true signature events in the city? Perhaps Treefort Music Festival, Boise Music Festival, and the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic top the list.
