Neighborhood Concert Series: Fairview Park

WEDNESDAY, JULY 27, 2022 AT 5 PM – 9 PM

Lost Grove Brewing is hosting a free concert in the West End!

Join us from 5-9 pm for live music from local musicians, food trucks, and vendors. Admission is FREE, so gather your family and neighbors for a fun night out.

**Please bring your own reusable cup for draft beer! We will not be providing plastic cups at these concerts!**

This will be the second year of the Neighborhood Concert Series (NCS), where we throw free pop-up concerts in parks around Boise! We partnered with our pals at the Morrison Center to create the NCS to help support live music. Our goal is to make live music more accessible by providing free concerts in rotating neighborhoods around Boise so people all across town have the chance to hear live music without worrying about cost or transportation.

For the full schedule of dates and parks visit:

Lost Grove Brewing will be selling beer, wine, and cider. No outside alcoholic beverages permitted.

Parking is limited. Biking and/or walking is highly encouraged.

City of Boise Survey on COMPASS Planning

Every four years, metropolitan planning organizations such as COMPASS undergo a federal review to determine if federal planning requirements are being met to ensure that federal transportation funding continues to flow to the region.

In May 2022, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will review the COMPASS regional transportation planning process. To help conduct the review, FHWA and FTA are soliciting public feedback and comments on COMPASS and its planning efforts.
