Caldwell Night Rodeo Kick-Off Boots, Buckles & Brews
Saturday, August 15, 2026 • 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Let’s get This Party Started!
Indian Creek Plaza is turning into a full‑blown honky-tonk as we team up with Caldwell Night Rodeo to kick off rodeo week in true Idaho style. Expect ice‑cold beer, live country music, and enough dancing to put some honest miles on those boots.
Caldwell Night Rodeo isn’t just a local favorite, it’s a nationally recognized powerhouse, ranked among the Top 20 professional rodeos in the country and one of the Top 5 large outdoor rodeos. After more than a century of grit, talent, and tradition, CNR has earned its reputation, and we’re celebrating BIG right here on the Plaza.
So grab your crew, rock your fringe, and get ready for a night that feels like pure Idaho.
Only one question remains: Are you rolling with the Rowdies or the Civies (if you know, you know).
ENTERTAINMENT
LIVE MUSIC | SCOTTY MAC AND THE NUGS | 7-9 PM

LINE DANCING | DIRT ROAD DANCING | 6 PM
Whether you’re a seasoned boot stomper or stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, Dirt Road Dancing will have you moving in minutes. Grab your friends, loosen up those shoulders, and get ready to kick off Caldwell Night Rodeo week!
RODEO QUEEN & CONTESTANTS | 7:45 PM
The Caldwell Night Rodeo Queen and contestants will be making a special appearance at the kickoff, boots on and ready to dance right alongside the crowd.
