Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, August 28, 2025.
Downtown Spokane is buzzing today as Pig Out in the Park kicks off its 44th year at Riverfront Park, inviting everyone to feast, dance, and soak in the summer vibe. Until September 1, you can wander through 65 food booths — think everything from smoky barbecue to sweet huckleberry treats — and choose from over 250 menu items. The air will be filled with music, too, as 100 free concerts unfold on four stages, offering everything from local hip-hop to classic rock throwbacks. Later today, you might catch acoustic folk by Micah Clay Lübben or have your nostalgia lit up by Tone Loc hitting the stage with his ‘80s anthem. Families can relax in the four adult beverage gardens or browse local wares at the 45 public market booths, making the festival a celebration for all ages.
Another meaningful stop while you’re out is the Travelling Vietnam Wall, on display at Dwight Merkel Sports Complex through Sunday. This moving, three-quarter scale replica of the national Vietnam Veterans Memorial spans hundreds of communities, but for the next few days, Spokane is its home. Over 58,000 names are engraved, each marking a life lost in service. Veterans and families are already visiting to honor loved ones and share stories of sacrifice and resilience, making this a heartfelt opportunity for remembrance and education.
Community spirit takes on new meaning with the near-completion of the Crosswalk Youth Shelter in Chief Garry Park. Set for a dedication ceremony today, this new three-story facility doubles the space for youth and young adults experiencing homelessness and incorporates expanded support services, education space, and medical outreach. It symbolizes eight years of planning and remarkable collaboration, with youth input shaping a space meant to nurture hope and safety for some of Spokane’s most vulnerable.
For families looking for music and a sense of tradition, mark your calendars for the Spokane Symphony’s Labor Day free concerts — Saturday at Liberty Lake Pavilion Park and Monday at Comstock Park, both starting at 6 p.m. Bring the picnic blankets early for R&B and soul performances by Jason Garrett Evans and Ruth Engeda, followed by symphonic favorites with some surprise collaborations. Arts organizations will be there offering previews, workshops, and mascots ready for photos. It’s a festive showcase of the region’s creative spirit and an ideal way to wrap up your summer weekend.
In development news, keep an eye on Kendall Yards, where a fresh apartment project is making waves as Spokane’s housing market continues to evolve. Meanwhile, the Spokane Tribe recently inked a sponsorship deal with the Spokane Convention Center, bringing a renewed sense of community partnership to the heart of the city.
Tonight, the summer concert series brings jazz and swing to life at Arbor Crest, where Craig Catlett & Bucket List will play from 5:30 to 7:30, perfect for those chasing sunset views over the vines.
That’s your Spokane Local Frequency for today, filled with good food, moving tributes, community milestones, and music for every mood. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
