If you're willing to brave the cold, check out Idaho's world famous Potato Drop!

"THE 10TH ANNUAL IDAHO POTATO DROP IS SET TO MAKE WORLD NEWS AGAIN!

On Dec. 31st 2013, we made national and world news by dropping a 17 foot long lit-up potato from the US Bank Plaza in downtown Boise to commemorate the new year and Idaho’s sesquicentennial. Tens of thousands filled the streets, spanning the Grove Plaza through the 8th street promenade.

The 10th annual Idaho Potato Drop promises to be bigger and better! There will be several activities added to the event this year, heated tents, fireworks, amazing musical talent, VIP tent and so much more. This New Year's come down and celebrate this free, charitable event!


The fun starts at 7:00PM! See map and website for details!"


Whatever you end up doing on the last day of 2022, I hope it's a blast! Have fun!
