Client testimonials: Brethren Church Denominational Conference July 2022 “This was our first experience with Boise Centre; however, working with their team is wonderful, everyone I interacted with held themselves to a high level of professionalism and service. Audiovisual is always a point of anxiety, but not when handled by Boise Centre's team. Having this off my plate was wonderful. I would recommend anyone host an event at Boise Centre.” Ryan Smith Director of Ministry Operations & Leader Development Northwest Credit Union Association - MAXX October 2021 “Boise Centre's team delivered an impressive level of service and accommodation during our convention. Our staff, members, and exhibitors all shared positive comments about their experience at Boise Centre. The Front & Centre catering team was amazing. The food was tremendous, and I appreciated their flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. The audiovisual department was incredible, and whenever needed they responded quickly. The operations staff was calm and attentive - they delivered quiet and unseen service that made for a great program experience. We had over 500 attendees and our conference at Boise Centre was a terrific success.” Ryan Lee Senior Manager, Events and Programs Idaho Association of School Administrators - Annual Convention August 2020 “My experience with Boise Centre's event team has been very positive and the convention went smoothly.

Local Attractions

Recreation
Easy access to nature is one of the best things about Boise, with parks, trailheads, and a beautiful river surrounding downtown. Paved greenbelt paths are ideal for walks and runs pre- and post-event, and for the adventurous attendee there are hundreds of miles of foothill trails to explore. For a unique off-site group excursion, consider Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area or a guided white water rafting trip down the Payette River.
The Grove Plaza

Boise Centre surrounds The Grove Plaza, an urban park that marks the center of downtown. Home to Alive After 5, a lively and free summer concert series, The Grove Plaza is also a public venue and available to rent for receptions. Boise Centre's dedicated team manages and maintains The Grove Plaza and is will work with you to secure the space.
Local Breweries

Nightlife
Idaho loves its potatoes (we have our very own interactive Boise Idaho Potato Trail!), but we're also busy being the top producer of barley in the nation and the number two producer of hops - which translates to an exciting craft beer scene. Local breweries, including Payette, Mother Earth, Boise, Barbarian, and Edge, are scattered throughout downtown where attendees will enjoy sipping their next favorite beverage.

Basque Block

Historical landmark
Originally hailing from northern Spain, Boise proudly is home to the most concentrated Basque community in the United States. Our historic Basque Block is a living testament to the rich culture, language, and cuisine that has shaped our community since the 1800s. This lively district includes museums, markets, bars, and restaurants, all steeped in the traditions of the Basque people. For your event, the Basque Block transforms into an exclusive block party, where these authentic experiences come to life.

Nightlife
Boise's position at 44 degrees north latitude places it in the same illustrious league as the wine-growing regions of Bordeaux and Tuscany. This unique alignment with the globe's viticultural hotspots ensures that our wines possess an exceptional character and quality. For a taste of Boise's wine offerings without leaving the city, downtown tasting rooms are nestled throughout our vibrant urban core. Sunny Slope, the wine-growing region just outside of Boise, can be experienced after a quick shuttle ride.
