(City of Pocatello Press Release, March 30, 2026)
The Portneuf Valley Environmental Fair returns to Lookout Point, 426 West Lewis Street, in Historic Downtown Pocatello Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering a full day of free, family-friendly fun as the largest environmental fair in Southeastern Idaho.
This annual event brings the community together to celebrate, learn, and enjoy the outdoors. With more than 80 exhibitors, hands-on activities, and interactive learning opportunities, there’s something for everyone. Visitors can plant a chia pet, pick up a free tomato or pepper plant from J.R. Simplot’s Don Plant (while supplies last), and explore booths featuring both long-time favorites and new community partners.
Come hungry and ready to have a good time. The fair features free food, including fries from Lamb Weston, hot dogs from the City of Pocatello, and liquid nitrogen ice cream from the ISU Chemistry Club. Live music from Idaho performers, including Wild Idaho and Druids, Heathens, and Saints, will keep the energy going throughout the day.
Families can also enjoy a dedicated Kids Area with a scavenger hunt, interactive activities like building bee hotels and learning about water conservation, and the popular Idaho Museum of Natural History Mobile Museum.
Spend a few hours or stay all day, rain or shine, the celebration of the Earth goes on. Grab your friends and family and join us for an amazing day right here in our backyard.
