Welcome!

The chill is settling in, but East Idaho is lighting up with concerts, parades, holiday markets, and small-town celebrations across every corner of our community. From Rexburg’s tree lighting to Pocatello’s Veterans Day Parade, there’s something happening almost every night this month — and tonight might just steal the show. 🌌
If skies stay clear, step outside and look up — the Northern Lights are expected to be visible across much of East Idaho! Grab a coat and a camera!
