Ketchum Town Square Open House

Ketchum Town Square

Ketchum Town Square was unveiled in 2010 as a vibrant and interactive space where the community could gather, socialize, and participate in various activities. Since then, it has become part of Ketchum’s social fabric, hosting countless events—big and small—and welcoming residents and visitors alike for coffee breaks or to sit by the fire after a day on the slopes. However, some of its infrastructure and amenities have deteriorated or are out-of-date. The city is evaluating plans to replace or upgrade parts of Town Square to keep it vibrant for years to come. Your input is invaluable to determining project priorities. Enjoy snacks and drinks and learn more about what needs to be upgraded at Town Square, why, and potential improvements plans. Your feedback will be collected and presented at the next City Council meeting later in October. RSVP at participate@ketchumidaho.org or call 208.726.3841 with questions
