Labor Day Happenings in Boise 2024

Labor Day is coming up on the first Monday of September, which falls on the 2nd of this year. This holiday honors the accomplishments of American workers and has its roots in the workers' rights movement of the late 19th century.

Celebrate Labor Day in style with these events happening in the Boise area!

Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic:

The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is a beloved annual event held at Ann Morrison Park. From Wednesday, the 28th through Sunday, the 1st, vibrant hot air balloons fill the sky, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to see them both up close and in flight. This multi-day event is free for everyone, with special activities planned on certain days, including Kids Day on Wednesday, August 28th.

Yoga on the Mountain:

One of Boise’s signature attractions is the Boise River, a 102-mile-long tributary of the Snake River that is a beloved spot to float down, enjoy the scenery, and relax during the warmer months of the year. Before the summer season is officially over, make sure to squeeze in one more refreshing float down the Boise! The put-in for the Boise River float starts at Barber Park, located in SE Boise off Eckert Road (about 6 miles from downtown). For more information on floating the Boise River, check out this blog.

Discount day at the Warhawk Museum:

The Warhawk Museum is located in Nampa and contains aircraft from different wars, including World War 1 and 2, the Iraq War, and the Korean War among others. What makes this museum special is the collections of uniforms, photos, medals, gear, and written narratives about the wars donated by family members of local veterans. The Warhawk Museum is open on Labor Day and offers general admission for only $5. This activity is perfect for kids with plenty of vintage planes to ooo and ahh over, and for adults to learn more about our local and national history.

The Kuna Stampede:

One of the best things about summer is the warm nights perfect for camping. A last-minute camping trip doesn’t need to be a challenging endeavor, all it takes is packing your car with the essentials (tent, sleeping bag, food, etc.) and choosing a campsite near Boise. You can even make it a backyard camping trip for a fun and easy experience at home!
