Shoshone Falls is one of the most well-known and magnificent waterfalls in Idaho. Known as the Niagara Falls of the West, this impressive waterfall is 212 feet tall and 900 feet wide. Spring is one of the best times to view these falls as the snowpack can truly make these falls roar … but that’s not all. Throughout the month of May, Shoshone Falls is illuminated with choreographed lights and music to create the perfect family-friendly activity to welcome in summer.
Shoshone Falls After Dark has become a favorite springtime tradition for residents and visitors in Twin Falls. Individuals travel from all over the country to capture a view of this unique waterfall show.
Southern Idaho Tourism, Idaho Central Credit Union, Idaho Power, and the City of Twin Falls come together to create this extraordinary event.
2024 will be the fourth consecutive year for this springtime show. During the display, Shoshone Falls is lit with colorful lights choreographed by Midnight Studios and pre-mixed, recorded music by Idaho’s DJ Eric Rhodes.
Shoshone Falls After Dark will take place Thursdays through Sundays throughout May 2024. Tickets are required to view this incredible show. Tickets are based per vehicle — not per person — and you will choose a designated time to view the show. Times are available from dark to 11 p.m.
Passes are $20 per vehicle. Oversized vehicle passes and handicapped parking are available.

The light show is approximately 10 minutes and is repeated multiple times each night. There is also a snack stand and merchandise available for even more excitement.
Shoshone Falls is magical during the day but there is something about a colorful light show that adds even more delight to this natural wonder. You won’t want to miss it.
