Last summer, the Hyde Park Street Fair welcomed a record number of vendors: 186, the maximum reasonable capacity at Camel’s Back Park.
But this year? The outdoor party is slated to have 187 vendors, longtime event coordinator Carl Scheider said. “We got one more than we predicted we’d get in,” he explained.
So, technically, Hyde Park Street Fair will be bigger than ever in its 43rd iteration?
“Why of course!” Scheider joked.
Tens of thousands of Idahoans will flood Camel’s Back Park, 1200 N. Heron St., for a mid-September tradition. Two stages of music and entertainment. Arts and crafts vendors selling jewelry and clothing. Tons of food and beverage sellers. Plenty of cold beer.
If you’re a seasoned Boisean, you don’t need a guide. You know the drill. But a few details change each year. And annual reminders are always helpful. So keep the following in mind.
