Are you ready for the biggest family party ever? It’s “The Snake River Roaring Youth Jam” For three magical days, August 7-9, the east side of the greenbelt in downtown Idaho Falls will be bustling with art activities geared toward youth of all ages. Participate in public art projects such as the Great Graffiti Wall or Create an Ocean. Enjoy local youth performers on the greenbelt stage. And in the evening, don’t miss the vibrant San Francisco based dance company Printz Dance Project, who deliver energetic modern moves, live, at the Colonial Theater, all three nights starting at 7:00 pm.
Get ready to have fun filled days with art, music, a gigantic duck race and make lots of memories with your family. Don’t forget, it’s all free.
TEEN SCENE. On Saturday, August 9 from 3-10:00 pm in downtown Civitan’s Plaza Park there’s a Battle of the Bands. As many as 15 bands will compete for their share of $2000 in prizes. Pick up an entry form at Mike’s Music the Arts Council or call Arie at 520-9151 for more information.
