ART ON THE ISLAND
A Summer Evening of Art, Jazz & Wine
Part art show, concert and wine festival, this one of a kind event is not to be missed! Watch painters compete in a quick draw competition and enjoy a jazz concert while sampling top Idaho food and wines. Headlined by the Van Paepeghem Quartet, this concert takes place in the picturesque setting of Eagle Island State Park in Eagle Idaho. This fun and entertaining evening ends with a wet paint sale and live auction. Bring your low-back lawn chairs for festival seating. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too.
