CANCELED: 4th of July Music Fest
2020-07-04 12:00 - 18:00
Out of an abundance of caution and with the health of our staff and community in mind, Brundage Mountain is canceling the musical events scheduled for July 4.
Brundage Mountain will still be hosting the Cat Track 10k & 5k Races, as that type of event attracts a smaller crowd and race organizers have done an exceptional job of creating new protocols to reduce risks.
Free concert events tend to draw larger crowds. While the spacious Brundage Amphitheater does allow a large number of people to space out, we can foresee bottlenecks as concert-sized crowds use shared facilities such as restrooms. Brundage has also canceled the TGIF Concert scheduled for July 10. The Brundage team is assessing future concert events based on Idaho’s Stages of reopening and the amount of spread in our local area and in the Treasure Valley.
