Start your Fourth of July the right way.
About this Event
VEA Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast
Join the Veteran Entrepreneur Alliance for the Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast, a long-standing community tradition we are proud to carry forward after decades of leadership from the Gem State Kiwanis Club.
This is one of those events that just feels right. Good food, familiar faces, new connections, and a chance to kick off Independence Day surrounded by your community.
2026 is even bigger. This year marks the America 250 celebration, honoring 250 years of independence. Expect a strong turnout, a great atmosphere, and a morning that actually feels like something worth showing up for.
We will be serving a full pancake breakfast with all the staples, right in the heart of downtown Boise at Cecil D. Andrus Park, directly in front of the Idaho State Capitol building.

- Raffle tickets available during the event with prizes announced soon

Why It Matters
This event is more than just breakfast.
