The week of September 15 through 21 belongs to the Indian Creek Festival, Caldwell's signature fall celebration, landing Friday and Saturday just 11 minutes from Greenleaf.

The Caldwell market at Indian Creek Plaza runs Tuesdays 5:00-8:00 PM through September 29. This Tuesday brings fresh local produce, artisan breads, local honey, crafts, and prepared foods, with free live music in the park during. It is just 11 minutes from home.

The closest market to home runs Wednesdays from 3:00 to 6:00 PM on Highway 19, just across from downtown Greenleaf. Fresh local produce, baked goods, honey, handmade crafts, and the chance to catch up with neighbors. The season continues through the fall.

Sunnyslope Wine Month: All September

September is Sunnyslope Wine Month on the Sunnyslope Wine Trail southwest of Caldwell.

If you want to make a day of it, downtown Boise has one of its busiest weekends of the season.
