 Events
Meridian hosts a variety of festivals and community activities to celebrate the city's culture and history. These include the Scarecrow Festival, Meridian Dairy Days, and the January Chili Cook-off. Dairy Days commemorates Meridian's former dominance in the Idaho diary industry with a cattle show, carnival and arts festival. During the Scarecrow Festivals, scarecrows crop up all over town, and children can explore a maze created out of hay. Climate The climate of Meridian allows residents to enjoy the outdoors throughout much of the year. While each of the four seasons places a different cast on the scenery, the temperatures are not extreme. Summer highs reach the low 90s, while winter temperatures can drop to the low 20s. Annual rainfall averages about 14 inches per year, and snowfalls are common November through March. Recreation Meridian's location in the Treasure Valley surrounded by mountain ranges is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors. Skiing, golfing, hiking, fishing and river rafting are some of the most popular activities. The skiing in the area is excellent; there are three main resorts within a three-hour drive. Bogus Basin, the closest, is about 45 minutes from Meridian. Other options include the Tamarack Resort at Donnelly, Sun Valley and Brundage within driving distance. Golf Golfers will appreciate the many courses available within driving distance. In Meridian, choices include Cherry Lane Golf Club, Foxtail Executive Course and SpurWing Country Club. Many more, high quality courses are located in Boise and neighboring communities. Other local attractions are the Meridian Speedway, Roaring Springs Water Park, and Boondocks Fun Center. |
