First Thursday: Treefort 2026 Edition

We’ve got loads of festy fun for you this First Thursday!

Stroll about Boise to peep all the Treefort-inspired window murals. You might even see some paintings in progress! Stop by Treefort Music Hall for our Pre-Treefort Vintage Vibes Market. Shop for some festy fits, get a pre-Treefort tat, and get stoked for TMF!

Plus, come thirsty for our Alefort Pop Up @ TMH! We’ll be testing out our BRAND NEW Digital Alefort Tokens during Vintage Vibes. You can be the first to give it a whirl, and help us work out any bugs before the fest. Buy a token (or as many as you like) and you can use ONE token to get a benefit beer on tap at TMH during First Thursday — one night only!

Not to mention, lots of Treefort parties, lotsa live shows and more during First Thursday.

Get out there and enjoy! Use our convenient (and cute) map as you are bouncing between tastings, tunes, shows and shopping to guide your experience. Have fun out there!

WINDOW WALK

We’ve painted the town Treefort!

Boise is dressed in its festy best, and we are all feeling the Treefort Spirit! As you wander throughout town before and during the festival, make sure to stop and “ooooh” and “ahhhh” at all the fabulous window artwork. We partnered with 38 talented artists to create one-of-a-kind Treefort-inspired artwork for Downtown Boise businesses for the entire month of March!

PRE-TREEFORT VINTAGE VIBES MARKET: 

FREE! Come build your Treefort look at Treefort Music Hall!

Come down from 5:30-9pm and browse new-to-you ‘fits and frills! Vintage vendors, Tattoos, Jewelry, Handmade, Vinyl & more! PLUS a DJ set from Mr. Grant Olsen.

We’re also doing an Alefort Pop-Up, with a special sneak peek at the brand new Alefort perks– did someone say digital tokens? We can’t wait to launch this new program, and we’re so stoked to share it with y’all. Buy a token (or 10 or 100) and you can use ONE token to get a benefit beer that’s on tap at TMH during First Thursday — that night only! <3

Come shop and drink and hang!
