6 Events Happening Around Twin Falls and the Magic Valley this Weekend

One thing about the summer is that the days seem to fly by fast, which means weeks go quickly and we are already halfway through July. The time of summer is ticking away quicker than most of us would like and it is why getting out and enjoying every weekend is so important before they are gone and the weather drops again. While it is hotter than many of us would like, it doesn't mean you should stay inside from the heat. Another weekend is about to begin and there are plenty of fun events taking place to enjoy.

Friday, July 15 and Saturday, July 16 - The Superhero Adventure

If you are not into superheroes these days, you are missing out. Marvel movies and television shows are some of the best and highest grossing in history. Batman returned to theaters this year and DC Comic's Peacemaker was one of the surprise shows of the year so far. Superheroes are more popular than ever before and this event is a chance to be one for a day. Dress up, have fun, and experience superhero activities for a day. The Superhero Adventure takes place in Rupert at the Historic Wilson Theatre on Friday and Saturday. Tickets vary in price and what you can do, but the main ticket, is $25 and you get food, swag, to ride a military convoy, superhero training, an escape room, and much more.

Saturday, July 16 - 5th Annual Christmas in July Shopping Day

The weather outside may be hot, but that doesn't mean it isn't too soon to be thinking about everyone's favorite time of year, Christmas. This Saturday will be the 5th annual Christmas in July Shopping Day, taking place from 10 AM to 4 PM at 215 Eastland in Twin Falls. The event is free to enter, there will be raffles every 15 to 20 minutes, and you can start your Christmas shopping a little early.

The weather is hot and so are the events in the Magic Valley this weekend. Get out and enjoy all that the area has to offer. Learn about safety, spend time with your daughter, spend an afternoon in a mountain town, be a superhero, do some Christmas shopping or enjoy some country music. There is much to do, and if none of these are what you are looking for, you can spend the weekend resting or perhaps fishing, kayaking, or potentially taking a fun weekend trip. Have a safe and fun weekend and enjoy the summer ones while they last.
