Why summer

The season of long evenings at the creek

Summer in Caldwell runs on Tuesday nights. From May through September, the Farm to Fork Farmers Market fills the plaza with produce and vendors, and the free concert series keeps the creek bank busy until the sun goes down.

The rest of the season is just as full: the Memorial Pool at Memorial Park reopens for the summer, the Canyon County Fair takes over the fairgrounds in late July, and the Caldwell Night Rodeo closes out August with five nights of professional rodeo.

More things to do in Caldwell

Plan a summer visit

  • Arrive early on Tuesday nights to grab dinner from the market vendors before the concert starts.
  • Book rodeo tickets in advance; the Caldwell Night Rodeo is a big draw every August.
  • Bring the family: splash pad at the plaza, the pool at Memorial Park, and parks across town.
