Nampa Parks & Recreation has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Nampa Festival of the Arts scheduled for August 8 and 9, 2020. 

Parks & Recreation Director, Darrin Johnson stated, “Our hope was to implement necessary guidelines to protect the safety of everyone attending, but we ultimately realized the risk is too great with COVID-19 cases rising in the Treasure Valley.”  It saddens us to cancel the event, but we realize this is the best decision for the health of our community.

For 33 consecutive years, Nampa has hosted the Festival of the Arts at Lakeview Park. The festival has been successful due to the commitment we have received from the community and our vendors each year.

Nampa Parks & Recreation plans to hold the event next year, scheduled for August 14 and 15, 2021.
