There will be an indoor farmers market this winter in Idaho Falls – East Idaho News
IDAHO FALLS — A popular local outdoor farmers market will now be going year-round after announcing there will be an indoor market.
The Idaho Falls Farmers Market will be having a “Winter Market” during the months of November to April.
“Last year, I kind of came up with the idea, and we actually did a winter/Christmas market in mid-December. That was kind of a trial and it was very well attended, very popular,” said Cort Pincock, president of the Idaho Falls Farmers Market. “So we decided this year that we wanted to do more of a monthly market throughout the off-season.”
The Idaho Falls Farmers Market, which is on Memorial Drive by the Snake River and typically runs from May to October, has about 100 to 125 vendors weekly.
The Winter Market will be located somewhere warm rather than outside. It will be at the Snake River Event Center/Shilo Inn at 780 Lindsay Boulevard.
It will be once a month on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Check out the poster below for details.
Pincock said they hope to have about 75 vendors at the event space. There will also be food trucks outside.
He said it will be a little bit different from the summer months but there will still be plenty of options.
“In the middle of the winter, we are not going to have tomatoes and the fresh fruits and veggies like we do in the summer of the Idaho Falls Farmers Market, but we are going to have the amazing artisans and the food, and a lot of the agriculture vendors. Many of them will still be there with meat, cheese, and bread,” he said.
Pincock told EastIdahoNews.com he is looking forward to the fun atmosphere where people can bring their families and enjoy time together, especially since it is a free event during the winter months.
He is encouraging people to come and support local.
“Our goal is to help small businesses locally, and we are a nonprofit organization, so coming out and supporting our events, you are really supporting local small businesses,” he said.

MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
