About Nampa
Nampa is the second-biggest city in Idaho and home to the Ford Idaho Center -- meaning if a national-scale concert or event hits the state, it likely lands here. Beyond the marquee bookings, downtown Nampa has come back to life with brewery patios, the Nampa Civic Center calendar, and a real First Friday art-walk culture. Lakeview Park hosts free summer programming; the Canyon County Fair runs late July; the Snake River Stampede pulls rodeo crowds in.
What's Up Nampa is the Nampa calendar in one place -- family events, brewery nights, downtown markets, and the big Idaho Center bookings.
