DANDELION FESTIVAL

Kristen Armstrong Municipal Park - 12pm - 8pm

3rd Annual Festival - JUNE 21st

PRESENTED BY: Boise Parks & Recreation, City of Good, and community partners

Join Boise Parks and Recreation, City of Good and a variety of partner organizations for the third annual Boise Dandelion Festival! This community-driven event celebrates biodiversity and the ecological, cultural and creative diversity that makes Boise unique — embodied by the regenerative spirit of the dandelion. From dandelion-themed food and beverages to live music, hands-on activities for kids and more, there’s something for everyone! 

This is a free, family-friendly event that offers a variety of opportunities to learn about the City of Boise’s efforts to reduce pesticide and herbicide use in parks and open spaces, while enjoying dandelion-infused products. This includes locally brewed dandelion beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) created by Woodland Empire Ale Craft. All beverages are made with dandelions hand-picked by volunteers from Boise Parks and Recreation park sites that are a part of our Pesticide Reduction Program. Plus, enjoy seasonal fare including locally sourced burgers, sides, and a dandelion salad from City of Good – and delicious handmade ice cream from Peaceful Belly Farm. All proceeds from beverage and food sales help support City of Good.

ACTIVITIES: Educational opportunities, face painting, art projects, seasonal fare prepared by The Counter

LIVE MUSIC: Day-time DJ set, bands start at 5pm, featuring Brad Parsons + more!

DANDELION BEVERAGES: Dandelion beer, dandelion root beer, kombucha, dandelion N/A cocktails
