AIR FORCE APPRECIATION DAY
Air Force Appreciation Day is our biggest event of the year and a wonderful opportunity to showcase your business while honoring our military personnel. Whether it’s through the parade or the vendors in Carl Miller Park, this event draws a large crowd and creates a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
The parade is the longest in Idaho, bringing in over 100 entrants every year and welcoming businesses of all kinds. Everyone is invited to participate and show off their fun floats, cars, dances, and more. Plus hand out candy to the crowd! A special highlight of the parade is the announcement of our Grand Marshal, honoring an individual who has made a meaningful impact on our community and military support.
After the parade, the celebration continues in Carl Miller Park with over 70 vendors offering a variety of food, crafts, face painting, and business information. The day also features a free barbecue that feeds over 3,500 people, making it a perfect place for the community to gather, connect, and celebrate together.
The week leading up to Air Force Appreciation Day also includes a variety of fun events you can participate in, such as a corn shucking competition, family fun night, booster scavenger hunt, and a trivia night!
