A two-day downtown festival featuring a cardboard kayak race, classic car show, live music, and family activities.

Caldwell’s story didn’t always include our beloved Indian Creek. In fact, these waters were flowing for decades beneath layers of road and buildings. The city’s initial Indian Creek Festival began in 2003 as a celebration of when the creek’s first section was uncovered. What was once a small gathering in a parking lot has now become a two-day festival that spans blocks in our beautifully revived downtown. This is one of our favorite events of the year, so we packed the weekend with family-friendly activities. Some highlights include a Fireman’s breakfast, oldies car show, first responder tug-of-war, and the crowd favorite: Cardboard Kayak Race. Come see what these folks can do with some old boxes, duct tape, a little paint and a lot of innovation! 6 — 9 pm | National Drive Electric Month Car Show 6 — 9 pm | Live Music from Asphalt Buffet FRIDAY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS SATURDAY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS 7 – 10 am | Fireman’s Breakfast | Caldwell Fire Dept. 9 – 11:30 am | Live Music from JR and the Stingrays 9 — 11 am | Classic Car Show 9 –11 am | Idaho Vintage Motorcycle Club Show 9 — 1 pm | Chalk the Block 9 –1 pm | 4-H Activities 10 am – 4 pm | Vendor Market 12 – 1 pm | Tug of War 2 – 3 pm | Cardboard Kayak Race 3 — 5 pm | Live Music from Redlight Challenge
