McCall is host to many lively events throughout the year. Imagine the beautiful sight of a flotilla of pleasure boats, lights shimmering, bobbing on Payette Lake beneath the 4th of July fireworks display.

If you miss those summer pyrotechnics, don’t fret – there are plenty more, plus dozens of amazing hand-carved snow sculptures, during winter carnival.

Aside from those major annual events, McCall won’t let you succumb to boredom any time soon – from snowmobile fun runs and a sailboat regatta to regular live music, from vintage car shows to the Payette Lake Art and Crafts Fair, you’ll find yourself amply entertained here in paradise.

The following represents just a few of the events taking place in McCall during the month of July.
