Stretch mom’s special day out across an entire weekend in North Idaho
Start Mom’s weekend off right with good food and good times. Saturday, May 11, is opening day at KOOTENAI FARMERS MARKET in Hayden at Highway 95 and Prairie Avenue (the downtown market opens the following Wednesday). How about fresh baked bread, local eggs, and other yummy items you can use to make Mom breakfast (or lunch or dinner) and don’t forget to pick up fresh flowers for the table!
Rather someone else do the cooking? No problem. Mother’s Day brunch options abound on Sunday, May 12, including inside the COEUR D’ALENE RESORT at both DOCKSIDE and BEVERLY’S restaurants and at the COEUR D’ALENE CASINO’S HIGH MOUNTAIN BUFFET. Have your brunch on the water when you book a Coeur d’Alene Resort brunch cruise or make it a weekend and stay overnight at the resort with special Mother’s Day packages.
How about an all-you-care-to-drink mimosa bar and lunch at CEDARS FLOATING RESTAURANT? The bottomless mimosa bar is only $12. Then stick around downtown for a free concert in the park featuring the North Idaho College chamber singers and wind symphony at the City Park bandshell beginning at 2 pm.
The mimosas (complimentary!) will also be flowing at the RESORT PLAZA SHOPS during their Cupcakes & Cocktails event on Saturday. Take Mom shopping and enjoy delicious treats scattered throughout the shops.
If you want to get out and play together, enjoy reduced ticket pricing and free entry for moms with paid ticket purchase at SILVERWOOD THEME PARK Mother’s Day weekend.
Spend some creative time with Mom, starting with free admission to the COEUR D’ALENE ART ASSOCIATION SHOWCASE at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds on May 10-11. Or make your own art together with a guided painting experience like “Elephant Love” at the PAINT BUZZ. At PINOT’S PALETTE, learn to paint “Pretty Petals” or a vintage rose on a bottle, so Mom can have beautiful flowers that remind her of you!.
