    The crown jewel of the weekend was the 95th annual Meridian Dairy Days Parade, which turned downtown into a swirl of color, music, and nostalgia. Floats adorned with larger-than-life cows rolled by, while local school bands played crowd favorites and the aroma of fresh pancakes drifted through the air courtesy of the beloved pancake breakfast. The Real Dairy Parade honored not just the city’s agricultural heritage, but also the next generation of ag leaders, featuring local FFA students and, of course, plenty of adorable calves and goats. This year’s addition, the Dairy Days Cruz-In Car Show, proved a hit Friday evening, with classic cars sparkling in the sunset and drawing visitors from across the Treasure Valley[2][4].

    For art lovers, the Meridian Fine Arts Festival kicked off at Kleiner Park. More than 75 artists from the Pacific Northwest displayed everything from vibrant paintings to intricate leatherwork and woodburning. The festival’s family-friendly atmosphere was rounded out with live music, food trucks, and a splash pad that quickly filled with laughing children cooling off in the summer sun[3].

Carnival rides are spinning and food vendors are serving up delicious local fare, while Old MacDonald’s Farm and the Rainier Amusements Carnival are drawing families from all over the Treasure Valley. Tonight, the Dairy Glow Balloon Glow returns at dusk, lighting up the park in a stunning display.

    Town pride was front and center last night as Meridian High School’s baseball team notched a dramatic 5-4 walk-off win against Eagle High, capping an exciting week of summer league sports.

  • Meridian Braces for Weekend Fun Amid Shifting Weather Patterns

    Meridian Braces for Weekend Fun Amid Shifting Weather Patterns
    2025/06/20
    Meridian woke up to a fresh and lively Friday after a burst of stormy weather set the tone for the past 24 hours. Residents saw cloudy skies with intermittent rain, as a storm system rolled through on June 20. The rain cooled things off and kept pollen counts unexpectedly low, offering some relief to allergy sufferers. Air quality remained in the moderate range, perfect for quick walks but perhaps not ideal for marathon runners.

    In community news, Story Park is buzzing as Meridian Dairy Days continues its streak of local fun. The Barnyard Bash is a crowd-pleaser, with carnival rides, vendors, and live entertainment keeping spirits high and families entertained. If you’re looking for something festive, there’s still plenty of time this weekend to make memories among the Ferris wheels and funnel cakes[1].

    Sports fans had their eyes on Meridian High last night, where the Warriors baseball team squeaked out a 6-5 win over Mountain View in the district playoffs. Meanwhile, the Lady Wolves soccer team put on a gritty defensive display for a scoreless draw against Rocky Mountain in a game delayed briefly by lightning in the area.

    While Roaring Springs Waterpark is usually a top destination for families, the stormy forecast has prompted a rare closure for the entire weekend—so don’t plan on tubing the lazy river until the weather clears up[4]. This sudden closure comes just after last week’s news, when a quick-reacting staff and Meridian Police responded to an incident at the park, underscoring the community’s commitment to keeping everyone safe[5].

    Looking ahead, city officials are encouraging residents to check the Meridian website for updates on events, art exhibits, and public tours—notably, the Story Park festival continues all weekend. With the summer kick-off weather reminding everyone to keep an umbrella handy, Meridian stays bustling with safe, family-friendly activities and supportive neighbors[1][2].

Despite a few clouds drifting through Wednesday evening, locals awoke to clear skies and gentle morning temperatures in the low 60s, promising sunny highs in the low 80s by this afternoon. Pollen levels have ticked up as grasses and weeds hit their seasonal stride, so allergy sufferers may want to keep that antihistamine handy.

Storey Park is a hub of energy, with local food and craft vendors open until 10 p.m., while the Rainier Carnival is already spinning and twinkling, ready to thrill visitors into the night.

    On the sports front, Meridian High’s summer league baseball kept fans on their toes last night, edging out neighboring Rocky Mountain 5-4 with a walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh. Meanwhile, the city council’s recent meeting addressed ongoing improvements to park facilities, particularly parking arrangements to support Meridian Youth Baseball and upcoming summer tournaments[3].

    In community updates, the Meridian Library District is closed today in observance of Juneteenth, joining many across the valley in commemorating the holiday with reflection and local gatherings[4].
