Make 2026 awesome

Downtown Nampa’s 2026 event season is officially on the calendar and we’re ready for a year of nights filled with fun and community. We’ve updated the website with this year’s event dates, plus the next steps for vendors who want to be part of the lineup and sponsors who want to help power the season. If you’ve been looking for a simple way to show up downtown this year, start here.

Downtown Nampa is heading into event season, and we’re excited.

We’ve officially announced our 2026 event dates, and the website is updated so you can see the full season and start planning now. https://downtownnampa.com/event-schedule

These events matter because they’re more than “things to do.” They’re the nights you run into people you haven’t seen in a while. The afternoons you bring out-of-town friends downtown and feel proud about it. The kind of community moments that make Nampa feel like home.

Now here’s where you can help: for these events to be as strong as they can be, we need great vendors and committed sponsors alongside us.

Vendors: get on the list

If you’re a vendor (or know one), we have a simple system on the website:

1) Get on our vendor list. https://downtownnampa.com/event-vendors

2) Apply to specific events as applications open

If you’ve been thinking, “We should be downtown this year,” this is your sign. We’d love to have you.

Sponsors: help power the season

Sponsorship is what helps us keep these events welcoming, well-run, and worth showing up for; for families, downtown businesses, and all of Nampa.

We have 3 sponsorship levels and several opportunities at 2 sponsorship levels left for 2026:

- Visionary Sponsor (1 spot): already claimed — a big thank you to Lactalis for coming back again this year. We’re genuinely thrilled to have them on board.

- Premier Sponsors (2 spots): available

- Presenting Sponsors (one per event): several still available

If you’ve been looking for a high-visibility way to show up for Nampa — this is it. You’ll be tied to real community experiences, not just a logo on a flyer.
