From the West End Food Park: The bike lanes in the West End are primed and ready for some major bike traffic—lets make it happen with an event this Thursday, July 3 at 6pm at 2419 W. Fairview Ave. Hoping to take over the West End of Boise this week with bikes, beer, music, and amazing food—it’s a grassroots idea and we are working to make it reality. Come hungry.
Meet at 10am on Saturday, June 28 at the north side of Fairview park (on W Bannock St near 23rd St). Ride with others in the neighborhood to the downtown farmer’s market. The bike ride is guided with a lead and a tail and we will go over some safety tips before leaving. This is a great opportunity to try cycling downtown for your first or hundredth time. Please bring your helmets. Everyone in the family is welcome. Ride On!
Mmm…
It’s that time of year. We’ve developed a little obsession with food festivals. Come check out the Greek food festival this Friday and Saturday. It’s on W. Bannock St, just off 27th St (to the east). And it’s not just food, bring your dancing shoes or at least come to hear some music.
The annual Russian food festival will take place this Friday and Saturday at the Russian orthodox church on 29th and Moore streets. Enjoy!

Update
The campaign was successful!
The Food Truck Rally is coming to Whitewater Blvd between Main and Fairview, this Friday 5-9pm.
The Food Truck Rally is partnering with the Boise Relay for Life this Friday, March 14th to kick off their fundraising efforts. The Food Truck Rally is a monthly event in the Boise area that gathers food trucks in one spot for a community dining experience. 7 trucks will be rounded up at Whitewater Park Blvd (formally 30th Street) between Main and Fairview from 5-9pm. The American Cancer Society will have registration available for this year’s Relay for Life as well as giveaways and prizes! Radio Boise’s DJ Winkle will be spinning great tunes for everyone to enjoy.
In honor of Relay for Life, each truck will have a special purple-themed dish on their menu. Patrons of the rally will get to vote via donating to the American Cancer Society and the truck raising the money most will be honored!
Payette Brewing will have craft beer on tap plus a selection of Idaho wines available. IDs are required.
This is a family friendly (and dog-on-leash friendly) event. Parking available on site. Carpooling is encouraged. Bike parking available too!
