REXBURG — Imagine an Idaho sunset on the banks of the Teton River while sipping on apple cider and listening to music and storytelling? Sounds pretty dreamy!

Songs, Stories, & Cider will be held this Friday and Saturday, October 21 and 22 at Teton Corners Nature Preserve, just west of Rexburg and north of Hwy. 33. (See the website for a map to the event.)

The event combines favorite fall activities with a picturesque location on the Teton River. Entertainment will be provided by international singer/songwriter BraKwaku and the Snake River Storytellers. All tickets come with popcorn and cider and can be upgraded to bottomless. 

“Armstrong Apples brings fresh-picked apples every year from their family orchard in Washington to sell by the pound, as well as fresh-pressed cider,” says organizer Thomas Scott. “We teamed up with them to allow locals to see and press their own cider.”

Scott says it will be a memorable experience for all ages.

“I mean, come on, fresh apple cider and popcorn while watching the sunset on the Teton River over a fire while listening to great music and enthralling stories? What’s not to love?” asks organizer Thomas Scott. “It’s all about sharing a unique experience, something different. Something memorable.”

Scott says there is shelter available in the case of inclement weather, and that tickets are limited because of space. He encourages hopeful event-goers to order tickets early. 

“This is a great way to support the arts in Rexburg, while also filling your belly,” Scott says. “Teton Corners is a private nature preserve of our family, and a portion of all ticket sales goes to planting trees and fighting invasive weeds.”
