Idaho City Days

Idaho City Days, sponsored by the Idaho City Chamber of Commerce and our partners Midas Gold, is widely recognized as one of the premiere events in Idaho City. This open-air festival is in it’s fifth year and is held on the first weekend in October. It provides visitors of all ages and interests with the opportunity to meet a growing number of artists, crafters, antique dealers, and other vendors, and purchase their goods. In addition to shopping opportunities with our local businesses and the vendors, the Chamber and its fellow Idaho City organizations present an array of amusements, performances, wonderful food, and activities for the entire family. The 2020 event promises to be bigger and better than ever and will once again include activities such as a Beer Garden, Photography Contest, Sunday Worship Services, Volunteer Fire Fighters’ Breakfast, Museum open, A Mountain Man Competition and once again this year’s event will feature a full-blown Western Poetry Gathering sanctioned and hosted by the Cowboy Poets of Idaho! Watch our Facebook page for details and make plans now to join the fun; there is genuinely something for everyone!
