Brundage Mountain Resort is pleased to welcome the second annual Idaho-Down Music Festival August 20 and 21. The two-day concert event will feature 20 different musical acts with continuous music on two stages, as well as a strong focus on environmental sustainability.

The focus of the festival is on supporting regional musicians, bringing increased tourism to Adams and Valley Counties and providing a vibrant music festival that lessens the social and ecological impacts on our community.

“We’re really excited about the commitment of Idaho ME to grow this event into an annual tradition, and also to make sure that it continues to have a positive impact on the community,” said resort spokesperson, April Russell. “Music lovers can enjoy great music in a spectacular setting, and feel good about supporting the event.”

The Idaho-Down has been selected as a pilot project for the Council for Responsible Events Certification Program. Much like the US Green Building Council’s LEED Certification program, the event will attain credits for measures taken to reduce waste, lessen the impact on energy and climate, reduce materials used, and reach out to the community.

Based on the credits, The Idaho-Down will be certified, silver, gold, or platinum. A carbon offset project is also underway. The projected carbon output for the event will be calculated, and trees will be planted in McCall and New Meadows to offset the impacts of the Idaho-Down on our community. The Idaho Wildlife Federation will be a beneficiary for the event. In addition, Lake Shore Disposal will be hauling and donating a 20-yard recycling facility for the festival’s recycling program.
