North Idaho is a tough place to top for friendly people, natural beauty and recreational activities, just to name a few. But throw in a bus load of special events scattered throughout the year and you'd be hard pressed to find a place more fun to live or visit.
Summer is right around the corner, even if the end of April did seem like a return to winter. And summer means a long list of events and festivals with such variety that there is literally something for everyone. Let's take a peek at a few celebrations coming up in the next few months.
Depot Days, May 7-8 in Wallace, kick off car show season with vehicles of all types, makes and ages lining the downtown streets. It's a family festival celebrating the Northern Pacific Railroad Depot with live music, kids activities, vendors and of course the historic Depot.
If you like car shows you'll want to be in Sandpoint the next weekend for Lost in the 50's. The whole town goes retro with rock and roll, dances and car parade and show. Herman's Hermits headline Saturday night's festivities.
The Priest Lake Spring Festival on May 28-30 has arts & crafts, live music, history, pancake breakfasts, silent auction, a parade on Saturday and fun run on Sunday. Here's a schedule of events.
Post Falls Days, June 4-6, are always fun with vendors, kids activities, a fishing derby and a parade.
