Friday Weekend Events

Spring has officially sprung in East Idaho—and so have the events! 🌼 Whether you’re in the mood to discover local businesses at the Spring Fair, rock out at a concert, shop a wedding dress pop-up, or witness heroic athleticism (and wipeouts) on a slushy ski pond, there’s something happening in every corner of the region. We rounded up the best ways to shake off winter and step into the season—one booth, beat, and business card at a time. Let’s go! 🛍️🎶💪

Favorite Food

🥘 Favorite Food Find: Himalayan Flavor 🍛
If you're not already obsessed with Himalayan Flavor, allow us to lovingly drag you into the fold. With locations in Idaho Falls and Pocatello, this local gem brings rich, soul-warming Nepalese and Indian cuisine right to East Idaho—and trust us, your taste buds will thank you.

Their chicken tikka masala is pure comfort in a bowl, the garlic naan is dangerously addictive, and the Chicken 65? Crispy, spicy, and packed with flavor—it’s the kind of dish that turns “just a bite” into “how did I finish the whole thing?” Whether you’re spice-curious or a seasoned curry connoisseur, there’s something on the menu that hits just right.

Locally owned, warm vibes, amazing service, and food that makes you wonder why you ever settled for boring takeout. 10/10 recommend grabbing a friend (or just your appetite) and heading to Himalayan Flavor next time you’re craving something special.
