BOISE, Idaho — Downtown Boise's favorite open-air market is moving to a new location at 11th & Myrtle this spring. Started in 1994, the Capital City Public Market has occupied a variety of different locations, many of which were located on Historic 8th Street.
On April 19, the long-running public market will take over the lot on the south side of W. Myrtle Street, across from Jack's Urban Meeting Place (JUMP). In a Facebook Post, market organizers said that maintaining a "long-term spot" downtown had become "increasingly challenging." Thankfully, they found a new space that offers "room for growth and a supportive environment."

Applications are currently open for vendors.
