Wildfire Awareness Month is quickly approaching, and that means it’s the best time of year to be proactive in our landscapes and be better prepared for fire. Idaho Firewise will be hosting our annual Preparedness Fair to promote wildfire awareness on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Join us for this free event to learn about fire concerns in our area and engage with our event partners. Joining us this year are Ada County Emergency Management, Youth Climate Action Council, The Resilience Institute, Boise Fire Department, American Red Cross, 811 Digline, and Idaho Power.

Enjoy an outing with friends or family and explore our demonstration garden grounds. Educational materials will be available and garden tours or advice will be provided by Idaho Firewise staff and volunteers. See you at the garden on May 16th!

On May 16th from 10-2, All Saints Episcopal Church is hosting a day of fun to bring together families and neighbors from the local community! This Spring Fling will have activities, games, and food trucks to the Depot Bench. We are located at 704 S. Latah Street, Boise!

Step into the world of precision woodworking and digital craftsmanship using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology!

Our knowledgeable instructor will guide you through the basics of CNC machining by introducing design practices with Carbide Create CAD/CAM Software (free windows or mac download), safety protocols, CNC tool setup, and material milling (with a demo). At the end of this session participants will select a CNC project and schedule a follow-up session to use the Nomad3 CNC at unBound. The library will provide digital designs and all needed materials for several different types of projects including trays, signs, various boxes with lids, 3D relief carvings, and wood inlays.

After these two sessions, participants will be 'badged' and can then reserve the CNC machine for their personal use.

Registration required!

The Boise Bard Players presents Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing! All the wedding drama. None of your crazy family members. This is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen before—Much Ado stripped down to its rebellious, fast-talking heart. Six Actors. One Hour. No Stage.

The story: When war heroes Claudio and Benedick return home, they expect a victory lap. Instead, they find themselves caught in a crossfire of wit and wicked schemes. While the young and naive fall for shadowy plots, the legendary witty Beatrice and Benedick wage a “merry war” of words that might just be the greatest love story never told.

This touring play is brought to life all around you, at your table, barstool, or booth. We are jumping off the stage and right into your lives—in fact, we won’t even HAVE a stage this time.

The ultimate “enemies to lovers” story written 400 years ago takes new life as we drop the fourth wall and bring you, wherever you are, into the action. Each performance is site specific and unique.

NOTE: 9 pm shows are 21+ performances. Ever hear how Shakespeare is just “bawdy” jokes? Yeah. It is. Adult Night performances are where we really get to lean into it.

Come be part of the wacky magic.

$20 General Admission

It's prom night in early 2000s Newark. Boy bands aren't dead. Neither is hope.
