Grab the kiddos and head over to the west side of the county for two days of fun and food at Scape Days. The weekend festival is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 5 and 6, at Snow Valley Garlic Farm (1007 Snow Valley Road, Priest River).

“This is a mini festival compared to our big one, The Taste of Garlic, in September,” said Noey Richards. “But there will be a bunch of fun events going on.”

Richards said 20-25 vendors will sell everything from food to specialty craft items, including bread, mushrooms, leather goods and, of course, garlic products.

“This festival is very family-oriented,” Richards told the Reader. “It’s a great place to come and let the kids roam. Also, a fun time to come out and socialize with some really cool people, eat some good food and try some of the weird stuff like garlic brownies. Trust me, they’re really good.”

The event takes place on the Snow Valley Garlic Farm property, which is the largest garlic farm in Idaho, surrounded by the beautiful North Idaho scenery. To get there, drive north for about 10 minutes on Highway 57 from Priest River and follow the signs from there.

Along with the vendors, there will be live music both days from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

“The band on Sunday is Oak Street Connection, and they’re an interactive, super family-friendly group where they get the kids all jumping and dancing around,” Richards said.

“It’s really breathtaking out here,” Richards said. “Come out and take a deep breath and have some fun.”
