"The high-tech industry has become increasingly important to Boise over
the years, though the economy remains diversified with its government
and business sectors continuing to be strong influences. The city is
home to Boise State University as well as a wide range of technical
schools. University of Idaho and Idaho State University each maintain a
satellite campus in Boise. Boise is also a regional
hub for jazz and theater, with the Gene Harris Jazz Festival hosted by
the city annually. The city is also home to a number of museums,
including the Boise Art Museum, Idaho Historical Museum, the Basque
Museum and Cultural Center and Idaho Black History Museum. Downtown
Boise features a vibrant section known as the ""Basque Block""
representative of the second largest ethnic Basque community in the U.S."
