Running through October 27, this 10-day celebration offers discounted dishes and exclusive menus designed to highlight the city’s best food and drink offerings.Jennifer Hensley, Executive Director of the Downtown Boise Association, emphasized the importance of the event for the local restaurant community.“The summer rush has happened, and the holiday rush hasn’t yet hit. This is the time we bring people in to support all of our local restaurants,” Hensley said.Attendees can sample a wide range of offerings, from gourmet sliders and handcrafted cocktails to seasonal, farm-fresh dishes. Many venues are spotlighting locally sourced ingredients, which Hensley says reflects Boise’s strong farm-to-table culture.“It’s harvest season, so it’s the perfect time when everything is ripe and ready to go,” Hensley added.The event also offers more than just food, with live music and social hours providing opportunities for attendees to turn their visit into a full-day experience.“You can make a whole day of it, or even a progression—there are breakfast options, social hour menus, and dinners,” Hensley said. “There’s something for everyone.”With many new restaurants participating this year, Hensley noted that it’s an ideal time for those who haven’t yet explored Boise’s latest dining spots.“We’ve had a lot of new places open in downtown, and if you haven’t had a chance to check them out, this is the perfect time,” she said.For a full list of participating venues and more information, visit the event's official website.</div></body>
