Labor Day is coming up on the first Monday of September, which falls on the 4th this year. This holiday celebrates the achievements of American workers and stems from the workers rights movement in the late 19th century. Celebrate Labor Day in style with these events in the Boise area!

The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic is a treasured annual event hosted in Ann Morrison Park. From Wednesday to Sunday, colorful hot air balloons take to the skies and offer visitors a unique experience to see them up close and up in the air. This multi-day event is FREE to the public, and various days are scheduled for special events, like Kids day on Wednesday, August 30th.
