Western Idaho Fair Announces 5 Awesome Artists for 2025 Concert Schedule

There are so many reasons to look forward to the Western Idaho Fair!

Maybe for you, it’s all about the food. Pronto Pup only does a handful of events per summer and the Western Idaho Fair happens to be one of them. They’re the first of the almost two dozen food vendors you hit, but your fair experience isn’t complete until you've chowed your way through a gyro, corn-on-the cob and an ice cream potato.

Others want to see how much mileage they can get out of a ride all day wristband. Thousands are there to support the kids showing animals as part of 4-H and FFA exhibits.

But one of the biggest draws are the grandstand concerts! These weren’t always part of the fair. When the Western Idaho Fair began, the grandstand entertainment was very, very different. Spectators watched things like rodeo events, war reenactments or plane performances. Eventually the fair did away with the rodeo because it couldn’t compete with the bigger events like the Snake River Stampede or Caldwell Night Rodeo which were recognized by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
