Moscow: an oddly bubbly town in the North end of Idaho, full of student life and college town culture. As much as there is to do in town, it can be easy to get wrapped up in Facebook events and reminders for things to do on campus. With student life on campus and a quirky downtown, it can feel like there is both little and too much to do.
To make it a bit easier on you, here are the best events to do in Moscow this week:
Paris to Pittsburgh | August 28
Six times every year the Moscow Food Co-op and the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre come together for one night. And tonight is one those nights! From 7-8:30 p.m. the Kenworthy will be showing the film ‘Paris to Pittsburgh’ as part of their Food for Thought series. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. If you have interest in learning about how people are responding to the threat of climate change then grab a friend, a reusable straw and head over to the Kenworthy tonight for a movie and a few snacks!

Open mic night | August 30
Do you have a special talent that you want to share or have an interest in open mic entertainment? One World Cafe is hosting an open mic night Friday from 7-9 p.m. All ages are welcome to this all-inclusive event. Performers sign up at 6:30 p.m. and each set are around 10 minutes long. But One World will be open until 10 p.m. for extra wiggle room, in case of lots of performers. This is a perfect way to spend a Friday night and is a great way to support the talented people of Moscow.
Can’t make this one? There are a few more options throughout the semester; Sep. 27, Oct. 25, Nov. 29 and Dec. 27.
Screen on the Green | August 30
The University of Idaho is having its very own movie night on the Tower Lawn. This will be the last Screen on the Green event, so mark your calendars! The movie is “The Hustle,” PG-13. The event will be from 8:45-11 p.m. It isn’t just for students of the University, everyone from the Palouse is welcome to enjoy a night on the green! The movie is best experienced if you bring blankets, bug spray and snacks.
Shania Rales Music Slice and Biscuit | August 31
Artist alert! Moscow Slice and Biscuit is hosting performer Shania Rales Music. They are a singer/guitarist just waiting for an audience to gather. The event is from 6-9 p.m. Saturday.
Moscow Farmers market | August 31
And a great way to end the week is by supporting the local farmers, craftsmen and people of the Palouse. Moscow’s farmers market is a notable event, the people of Moscow crowd over. The farmer’s market happens every Saturday until October. Starting from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Main Street in downtown Moscow.
