Winter Wonderland Festival 2025
Some of us here feel like we wait all year for this event, and the wait is FINALLY over! It’s so unique, not only to this corner of Idaho, but regionally. Every year it just gets better and better, and this year is no different. We’ve added a few new highlights that’ll level up this premier experience. We are fresh off our win for "Idaho's Best Seasonal Event," so thank you to those who voted! This win didn’t make us sit back and throw it into neutral, we are going all in for our community.
Join us November 21-23 for our Winter Wonderland Festival 2025
