Relight the Night is excited to announce the next neon sign restoration project taking place this summer during the debut of Pocatello’s 1st Annual Neon Fest, a two-day celebration of Neon, slated for July 11 and 12.
The historic Idaho Motel Neon Sign is currently being restored and will be relit at Lookout Point in the heart of Historic Downtown Pocatello.
Neon Fest Itinerary includes:
Friday, July 11
The July Art Walk will be held on July 11 from 5-8:00 p.m. and will have a “neon” theme. Stroll through participating locations to enjoy art, music, food, fashion, dining specials and more!
Relight the Night will host a guided Neon Sign Walking Tour beginning at 8:30 p.m. The tour will follow the signs outlined in the Neon Walking Tour Brochure, beginning at The Chief Theater Sign. There is no cost to join the walk.
Saturday, July 12
Those visiting Pocatello for Neon Fest will be invited to visit the Portneuf Valley Farmers Market on Saturday morning, shop Downtown during the afternoon then join Relight the Night at Lookout Point for an evening of live music featuring Steve Eaton.
Festivities for the evening will begin at 5:00 p.m. with food trucks, neon drinks, activities for the kids and more! Steve Eaton will take the stage from 6-7:30 p.m.
The Idaho Motel Sign Relighting will take place at 8:30 p.m. It’s an opportunity for the community and visitors to watch the sign officially be turned back on to shine brightly every evening.
Following the relighting, the movie “CARS” will be shown on the stage. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs for this family evening with movie popcorn, glow lights and fun for all!
The Idaho Motel Sign restoration is being funded by a grant from the Idaho Heritage Trust which will cover half the cost of the renovation. Fundraising for the remaining half is currently underway. Relight the Night has had several substantial donations but we still have a ways to go. Donations can be made at www.historicdowntownpocatello.com/relightthenight or mailed to Relight the Night, PO Box 222, Pocatello ID 83204.
