Annual Events

2026 is Bittercreek Alehouse’s 30th year of operation! We officially opened our doors on Saturday February 11th, 1996. We are planning for a year of activities including a celebration of all the people who have worked at Bittercreek over the years.

Each spring, we join Boise’s biggest celebration of creativity, community, and sound. Join us at Alefort and Foodfort, where our focus is finding ways to support Treefort for Good and the non-profit community.

Shade City Brewfest is Boise’s premier sustainable brewfest.  It’s all about good beer and good times!

Every spring, we invite hundreds of volunteers to help harvest dandelions for our Dandelion Root Beer and Dandelion Beer; both served at the festival and used to raise funds for the festival and City of Good. The Dandelion Festival is a city-wide celebration of music, art, food, and urban ecology, bringing together dozens of nonprofits and community partners. Proceeds support year-round City of Good programs, from the Food Hub to the Mobile Market.

Started in front of Bittercreek over 25 years ago, this is the nation’s only classic car show that also features custom and new electric vehicles. Held in front of the Capital in downtown Boise, the event doubles as an alternative transportation and EV showcase. We anticipate more than 300 cars in 2026, register your classic or electric early, and make sure dad has this on his schedule.

Boise’s vibrant multi-national community comes together to celebrate art, culture, music, films, and people!  Includes participants representing our Mexican, Basque, Native Americans, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Indonesia, Bosnian, African, Lao, North, and South America, Middle Eastern, Indian and Greek communities.

The Harvest Moon Dinner, an event that started in downtown Boise, features a 5-course farm to table meal prepared by amazing local chefs with ingredients from our Boise Farmers Market producers. This is the big annual fundraiser for Boise Farmers Market. 

Hosted by good friends Curtis Stigers and Jodi Peterson-Stigers, It’s the holiday variety show of the season, bold, loud, and full of Boise love. A heartwarming fundraiser that celebrates the great work of Interfaith Sanctuary.
