Aaron Ball Band – Festival to Fight Hunger
One of eastern Idaho’s most popular bands, the Aaron Ball Band, will headline this year’s Idaho Foodbank Music Festival for the fourth year on Saturday, August 2, at 6 p.m. at Freeman Park in Idaho Falls.
In addition to the Aaron Ball Band, performers will include fan-favorite “American Idol” finalist Paige Anne, Idaho Falls country singer Andrea Alonso and local ska-punk group The Opskamatrists.
There is no set ticket price for the event. Instead, donations of any amount will be accepted, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to support the Idaho Foodbank’s efforts to combat food insecurity in southeastern Idaho.
“We hope everyone will come out, bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket, and enjoy a great evening of entertainment,” Bowman said. “Together, we can make a difference and bring our community one step closer to a future where no one goes hungry.”

Empty Bowls - SW
Sponsored by:The Idaho Foodbank
Get ready for our 25th annual Empty Bowls virtual event! Empty Bowls is an international project to fight hunger, personalized by artists and community members, who offer their handcrafted and hand-painted bowls throughout the year. The Idaho Foodbank’s Empty Bowls offers the opportunity to select a unique bowl from thousands. We encourage you to remember that not all our Idaho neighbors are able to meet the basic need of feeding their families. The funds raised by this event help to provide food assistance to those in need this winter holiday season. Bowls start at $15 and sales will open on November 25th at 8AM. Updated bowl pick-up times will be published before bowl sales begin.
