CALDWELL

     The city of Caldwell embodies the very definition of country living, complete with picturesque sunsets, friendly locals, exciting local events, and rustic western ambiance. Caldwell is a small town 25 miles west of Boise and 45 minutes from the Oregon border. The central business district of Caldwell is thriving. Now that Indian Creek Plaza has been renovated, this once sleepy town is bustling with activity. Over the course of a year, the plaza serves as a hub for over 250 different events, including wine and art festivals, concerts, and more. In addition to a brand-new, state-of-the-art movie theater, hip, new eateries and shops have opened in the area. In the winter, when people can skate on the outdoor ice ribbon, the area becomes a magical festival of lights. For locals of the Treasure Valley, it has become an annual wintertime tradition.
