BOISE, Idaho — The Olympics are a time of great feats, tear-jerking stories and comradery. What better way to kick off the Paris Games than gathering together to cheer on Team USA.
The temperatures might be hot, hot, hot, but so are these events. KTVB is partnering with local events to celebrate the 2024 Olympics, and cheer on our Team Idaho athletes.
Alive After 5:
Taking place in the heart of downtown Boise, Alive After 5 is a concert series in its 37th year.
On Wednesday, July 24, Alive After 5 will be held indoors, as weather and smoke conditions are impacting the Treasure Valley. It will be held within Treefort Music Hall, also in downtown Boise.
KTVB will be there, rocking out with the band French Cassettes. Visitors can spin a wheel and answer Olympic trivia questions to win a prize.
