Residents of the Treasure Valley can now get a head start on weekend planning. Rather than waiting for the usual Friday roundup, we’re offering an early look at the biggest events scheduled for September 25‑27, giving families and friends plenty of time to arrange childcare, transportation, and schedules.
Consignment Sale for Kids
The Moppet Togs Fall Children’s Consignment Sale opens at Expo Idaho and runs through Sunday. Shoppers will find gently used clothing, toys, furniture, and baby gear. Saturday features a half‑price promotion on specially marked items, while Sunday morning offers a final 75 % discount on remaining inventory. Some sales periods require tickets, so check the Expo Idaho schedule before you go.
Outdoor Fitness and Fun
Fitness enthusiasts can join the FitOne Boise 2026 race series, with a 5K route that winds through downtown streets. Packet pickup locations and road closures are posted on the event website, making it easy to plan your route and avoid traffic.
Fall Harvest Attractions
Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and haunted houses are in full swing across the valley. Local farms offer hayrides, photo‑ops with oversized pumpkins, and seasonal treats. Families looking for a spooky night can explore haunted attractions that range from family‑friendly scares to more intense experiences for older teens.
Arts, Crafts, and History
Art lovers will enjoy a quilt and flower exhibition showcasing regional artisans. History buffs can step back into the 1860s with a living‑history reenactment that features period costumes, demonstrations, and interactive activities for children.
Food and Drink
Foodies can sample local cuisine at a variety of pop‑up markets and wine tastings. Several venues are offering special menus featuring Idaho potatoes, a regional staple, as well as craft beers and wines from nearby vineyards.
Inflatable Play Zones
For younger children, a giant inflatable playground will be set up at the Boise Community Center. The structure includes slides, obstacle courses, and bounce houses, providing a safe, supervised environment for kids to burn off energy.
How to Make the Most of Your Weekend
Because the Treasure Valley hosts so many events, it’s wise to prioritize the activities that matter most to your family. Check each venue’s website for ticket requirements, operating hours, and any COVID‑19 safety guidelines that may still be in effect. Planning ahead can help you avoid last‑minute conflicts and ensure a smooth, enjoyable weekend for everyone.
