Live Music, Late-Season Markets, and Fall Drives This Weekend
Ferdinand, ID · September 25, 2026
The smell of damp soil is drifting across the fields early today as an overdue autumn rain settles over the plateau. Keep the wipers handy on Highway 95, but take comfort knowing the dust is finally tied down.
The Lead
Autumn settles across the Camas Prairie this weekend with a mix of acoustic tunes, final harvest market runs, and quiet forest retreats. While steady rain keeps most folks indoors today, skies clear just in time for Saturday's morning routine. Grangeville’s Pioneer Park hosts its late-season farmers market from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday, featuring squash, winter storage potatoes, and fresh-pressed cider from area orchards. Over in Keuterville, the pub serves up hot dinner specials and live strings to warm up a damp Friday evening. For those looking to recharge outdoors, the Monastery of St. Gertrude kicks off its fall retreat at Fish Creek, offering guided walks through the changing larch and pine. Pack a solid rain shell for today’s errands, but leave Sunday open for a scenic drive above Lawyer's Canyon.
