Events Calendar
In Challis and surrounding areas, there are many events happening on any given day. Cultural events include regional and local theater shows, young artist exhibits, seasoned local artist displays, along with artisan’s craft shows. Summer in Challis brings the area car show, the state’s wildly popular BBR (Braun Brothers Reunion) that draws thousands, and our home-grown farmers market offering local crops and crafts; all with a country social atmosphere.
For western flavor, there are memorial rodeos and county fairs. Sportsmen will enjoy the Bayhorse ATV events. Winter events include Christmas concerts, Parade of Lights, and the annual town tree lighting. These events are listed below, so please attend and enjoy what Challis has to offer year round!
