Nerds Unite at the Boise Comic Arts Festival in Idaho this Weekend
The force will be strong in Boise this weekend as the nerds gather for the 2021 Boise Comic Arts Festival. Events happen in person at JUMP in Boise on Saturday, August 28th, and virtual online activities will take place on Sunday the 29th. I'm bummed I just heard about this because I am heading down to Utah for a family reunion at a renaissance fair. I'd much rather go to a comics fan gathering.
2021 Boise Comic Arts Festival
The Boise Public Library organizes the festival each year, which is a pretty impressive undertaking. The Twin Falls Public Library has great events they put together for the community, but nothing as big as the Boise Comic Arts Festival. The event is an opportunity for the community to gather, often in costumes, and celebrate their love of comic books and the characters in them.
