Boise Hempfest is an annual cannabis rights activism activity and festival in Boise, Idaho; held since 2016.[1] The "Hempfest" name is licensed by Seattle Hempfest.[2] The coordinator of the inaugural and subsequent events was Serra Frank.[3] The fourth annual event took place on April 20th, 2019.[4] The 2020 event was scheduled for April 18th, 2020; but was postponed due to the Idaho government mandated "stay at home order" issued at the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The next event is scheduled for Saturday, August 14th, 2021, in Julia Davis Park.[5]

The event is approved and permitted annually through the City of Boise Department of Parks and Recreation. It is dubbed a free and family friendly "Cannabis Education Event" that offers 12 hours of live entertainment and speakers from the Julia Davis Park bandshell; numerous food trucks and vendors in a "Munchies Market"; informational, non-profit, craft, and commercial vendors in a "Vendor Village"; access to local activism groups and citizens initiatives in a "Cannabis Cove"; educational displays in an "Enchanted Forest"; educational presentations in a "Hemposium"; and children-oriented activities and games in a free "Kidland."[5]
