Meridian

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.

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.
