Details

Green Acres is celebrating Independence Day with two full days of live music, food trucks, local shopping, and family-friendly activities on Friday, July 3 and Saturday, July 4.
Planning to float the Boise River? Green Acres sits right next to the river exit and just across the water from the Fourth of July fireworks show at Ann Morrison Park, making it an easy stop for breakfast before your float, a post-river meal, or dinner before the evening festivities begin. Guests can enjoy live music throughout both days, browse local vendors, grab a drink, and settle in for a full day of summer celebrations in downtown Boise.

Loving Lefse
