Experience real winter magic in Caldwell

Every year, the city of Caldwell transforms into a real-life winter wonderland from the weekend before Thanksgiving until the first week of January.
Every year, the city of Caldwell transforms into a real-life winter wonderland from the weekend before Thanksgiving until the first week of January. Over one million holiday lights cover trees, buildings, bridges all over town, painting the city in a mesmerizing glow. 

Children, families and couples skate under the lights on a huge outdoor skating rink. A singing Christmas tree stands tall on the corner of Indian Creek Plaza. 
Visiting Caldwell in the winter is a reminder of just how magical this season can truly be.  

Join in on the classic holiday fun — it’s ok to feel like a little kid here!

Indian Creek Plaza in downtown Caldwell is your holiday headquarters. Take the family to enjoy ice skating at Idaho’s only, and the seventh in the nation, ice skating ribbon. The ribbon is great for skaters of any ability and skate rentals are available. 

Plus, just steps away from the Plaza our farm to fork restaurants and fine merchants are the perfect place for a family meal or to check someone off your Christmas list.
Ice Skate in Downtown Caldwell

Ample FREE parking abounds in Downtown Caldwell.

For quick and easy parking, check out Caldwell’s free parking map before heading down to the Plaza.
