It's that time of year again. Boise’s got the big show in the park, but if you’re down to wander, there are parades, pie contests, fun runs, and plenty of places to ooh and aah all across the valley (and beyond). Just remember: no dogs, no drones, and definitely no glass. Let freedom ring but like... safely.
Here’s where the sky’s lighting up:
