Labor Day Weekend Events in Boise

  Photo Credit: Unsplash Labor Day is coming up on the first Monday of September, which falls on the 4th this year. This holiday celebrates the achievements of American workers and stems from the workers rights movement in the late 19th century. Celebrate Labor Day in style with these events in the Boise area! Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic: Photo Credit: Unsplash The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is a treasured annual event hosted in Ann Morrison Park. From Wednesday to Sunday, colorful hot air balloons take to the skies and offer visitors a unique experience to see them up close and up in the air. This multi-day event is FREE to the public, and various days are scheduled for special events, like Kids day on Wednesday, August 30th. Yoga on the Mountain: Photo Credit: Unsplash Bogus Basin is holding another Yoga on the Mountain, a FREE yoga class right at the bottom of the ski lifts. This event occurs from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. September 2-4, right next to Bogus Basin Lodge. No need to sign up, just show up and bring a yoga mat (or a blanket/towel if you don’t have a mat) and get ready to get your zen on! This event is followed by live music on the patio at 2 p.m., so bring up some lunch and enjoy your day in the mountains. Warhawk Museum Discount Day: Photo Credit: Unsplash 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 going to be open on Labor Day and offering 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. Hermit Music Festival: Photo Credit: Unsplash The Hermit Music Festival takes place from August 31st to September 4th at the Indian Creek Winery in Kuna. Going into its 9th year, this festival includes national and local musicians as well as art, vendors, and food in the park-like setting of the Indian Creek Winery. Tickets range from $65 for day passes to $100 for the entire weekend. The list of performing artists can be found on their website. For music lovers, this festival is the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy some music in a stunning setting.
