Grace Idaho

The City of Grace is snuggled in a beautiful valley located in southeastern Idaho just thirty (30) miles from an interstate highway and one hours travel from two large cities, Pocatello, Idaho and Logan, Utah. Grace has a population of approximately 1100 people in addition to the many families residing throughout the valley. In general, life is not as hectic here as it is in the more urban areas and is very conducive to raising a family or retirement.

Each year, Caribou County hosts in Grace the Caribou County Fair and Rodeo the first week of August. Among the high points of the fair are the parades. A children’s parade is held on Wednesday of fair week. Following the children’s parade, the public can participate in a watermelon bust that is sponsored by the Grace Chamber of Commerce.
