Mountain America Center to Host Second Annual Summer Market Days This Weekend
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The Mountain America Center will host its second annual Summer Market Days on Friday and Saturday, bringing more than 100 vendors, food trucks, live entertainment and family-friendly activities to Idaho Falls.
The free community event returns after its debut in 2025 and will feature small businesses, artisans, boutiques, food vendors and local organizations from across the region.
Some vendors include Wild West Hat Bar, Castaway Ceramics, Thor’s Chocolate, Idaho at Heart LLC, Melissa K. Hillman Fine Art and Turtle Island Turquoise.
