Celebrate New Year’s Eve with the Iconic Idaho Potato Drop Ringing in the new year with a descending spud in downtown Boise
The 10th annual Idaho Potato Drop is set to kick off at 7 p.m. MT on New Year’s Eve in Cecil Andrus Park, with a descending spud over the Idaho State Capitol plaza. In addition to the iconic potato drop, the event will feature live music, entertainment, food, vendors, and more.
KTVB will be providing live coverage of the event at 11:30 p.m. MT, which can also be streamed on KTVB Channel 7, KTVB.COM, KTVB+ on Roku and Amazon Fire TV, and the KTVB mobile app.
One of the highlights of the celebration is the Idaho CDL Training Urban-Air 2022 Ski and Snowboard Exhibition, in which athletes compete on a ski and snowboard ramp pulled at over 40 MPH. The skiers and snowboarders perform a variety of stunts, with the final jump going through huge columns of flames just before the potato drop at midnight.
The Idaho Potato Drop also includes a heated VIP Room at center stage, offering cocktails, entertainment, and hors d’oeuvres. The “Very Important Potato” experience gives attendees a chance to win prizes such as an Idaho Potato Air Fryer and Tamarack passes. In addition to the potato drop and fireworks show, attendees can also get a picture with Spuddy Buddy in front of the Idaho Potato Tour truck.
