7 Festive Events to Enjoy This Weekend in the Magic Valley

The holiday season is one of the most magical times of the year, and many events are happening every weekend in the Magic Valley. While there is still shopping to be done, perhaps some decorations to be put up, and Christmas parties to attend, there are also other events around town that you don't want to miss. Some of them are annual events, and others are happening for the first time. Get out and have some fun this weekend by attending one or multiple of the festive events in the Magic Valley.

Thursday, December 12 - Saturday, December 14 - Grandy's Craft Show

Many shopping events take place throughout the holiday season and one of the best in the Magic Valley each year is Grandy's Christmas Craft Show happening in Buhl at Snake River Sprinkler. The show is happening on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and will be open from 9 AM to 5 PM each day. For more details on the craft show, make sure to click the link above. 

Thursday, December 12 - Saturday, December 14 - Living Nativity

While many view Christmas as a time to get and give gifts and to spend time away from work and with family, it is the true meaning of Christmas that many forget to reflect on. Each year the Magic Valley does a great job of remembering the true meaning by having a Living Nativity unlike any other. Go back in time to Bethlehem this weekend. The Living Nativity will be happening Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and will be taking place from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM each night.  Make sure to bring canned food items as the event doubles as a food drive.
