Welcome to Boise Music Week 2026-27

When the first Boise Music Week was held in 1919, Boise and the world were recovering from a world war and a devastating flu pandemic. That celebration of music, conceived by Eugene A. Farner and performed by volunteer musicians, brought the community together as only music can. Every performance at that first weeklong celebration was free for everyone to enjoy. Today, 108 years later, Boise Music Week is still uplifting Boise and the Treasure Valley with a week of amazing free performances, including a professional level music theatre production at the Morrison Center.

Boise Music Week 2026-27 includes some favorites – Dance Night, Music in the Park, Community Worship Service, Organ Recitals, Silent Movies, Showcase, Children’s Music Series, All That’s Jazz, and the musical. This year’s main stage production is “Big Fish” which brings us fantastic stories, explores family bonds, and includes beautiful music! Look for information on “Big Fish” auditions on this website and on social media! We have now expanded beyond that one week to include some Boise Music Week sponsored events in the fall. School Night, that used to be a featured presentation in the spring Boise Music Week, is now a 3-night celebration in October and November of the band, choir, and orchestra programs of the Boise School District.
