THE BOISE GUIDE — 5-MINUTE HOTLIST (August 26th)
✨ Your cheat sheet to Boise from Katie at @theboiseguide

There's so much going on in Boise in the upcoming weeks! I've rounded up a few things I'm excited about this week and next from new restaurants and unique experiences to fun finds and local favorites. I hope you find something to add to your end-of-summer bucket list!

☀️🎈Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic

One of my favorite Boise traditions is coming up in just a few weeks from September 2 to 6th. You'll be able to watch dozens of colorful hot air balloons fill the sky over Ann Morrison Park, it's truly incredible if you haven't been before.

I put together everything you need to know before you go, including the schedule, parking tips, and my tips for making the most of it. I also recommend grabbing a coffee and breakfast burrito at Lost Window before or after you go.

🦅 Fall Flights at the World Center for Birds of Prey

This is SUCH a cool fall experience in Boise! Fall Flights are back September 4–October 31 with 45-minute outdoor shows where six trained birds of prey fly right overhead in an open-air amphitheater overlooking the Treasure Valley.

The shows happen Friday–Sunday at 11 AM, and your ticket also includes admission to the Interpretive Center and Archives of Falconry. Tickets must be reserved in advance, so plan ahead!
