Turn up the flavor, turn up the music, turn up the fun! Buy Idaho’s 39th Annual Celebration on October 2 promises an evening full of eats, drinks, and live grooves that showcase everything local.
On Thursday, October 2, 2025, from 4–8 PM, the SO|ME Amp in Meridian (1363 E. Phenomenal St., Meridian, ID 83642) will transform into the ultimate celebration of Idaho’s local businesses, community spirit, and live music—and the best part? The entire event is free and family-friendly.
For nearly four decades, Buy Idaho has been the champion of local businesses, connecting entrepreneurs to the resources, support, and community they need to thrive. From mom-and-pop shops to homegrown brands, Buy Idaho celebrates the creativity, hard work, and spirit that make our state strong—and this event is the perfect way to experience it firsthand.
The evening is all about Idaho flavors, sounds, and good times. Sample bites from local food vendors, sip cocktails from The Vesper Bar, and enjoy a charcuterie board from Love Boardie. Bring a low-back chair, relax under the evening sky, and let the music move you with Scotty Mac and the Nugs, a high-energy Idaho favorite whose soulful rock and groove-heavy rhythms will get everyone on their feet.
Want to make the night extra special? Reserve a table for eight and enjoy a pre-fix dinner from Kanak Attack, drinks, and charcuterie for your group while soaking in the live music and lively atmosphere.
This isn’t just a party—it’s a celebration of everything that makes Idaho amazing: local businesses, community pride, and the joy of coming together.
And there’s more—Buy Idaho has partnered with Avenues for Hope to strengthen communities and support Idaho families. Through the Avenues for Hope Buy Idaho Challenge, attendees can learn how local businesses and residents alike can contribute to creating stronger, more vibrant neighborhoods across the state.
So mark your calendar, grab your friends, and get ready to eat, drink, dance, and celebrate local. Idaho pride is strong, the music is loud, and the community is waiting. Don’t miss it!
