Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, September 4th, 2025.
Spokane is greeting September with a flurry of community energy and some big changes. First up, the city has appointed a new fire chief this week, signaling a fresh direction for emergency services at a time when fire safety is top of mind for many residents. In related city developments, Spokane Arts just secured a contract extension as the city establishes a separate Office of Arts and Culture, promising more creative projects and opportunities for artists and locals to get involved.
If you felt nostalgic seeing the dry patch along the Spokane River last week, you are not alone. Conservation efforts are a hot community topic, and residents are being encouraged to share their river memories and rethink water habits as the region grapples with erratic river flows.
Looking for something fun? The Spokane County Fair kicks off this weekend, bringing classic rides, livestock, local art, and plenty of food fried to perfection. If you want something a little different, this Saturday brings the fourth annual Northwest Pagan Fest at Spokane Community College. The festival runs from ten to five and welcomes everyone to explore vibrant pagan traditions, shop mystical crafts, and even meet some adoptable kittens and puppies. There will be a market split into earth, air, fire, and water themes, so whether you are a crystal collector or just looking for a unique afternoon, you will find something to enjoy.
Later that day, Brick West Brewing is hosting Spokane Boxing’s annual showdown: a high-energy event with young and seasoned boxers from around the Northwest stepping into the ring on the brewery’s patio. If you want to cheer these athletes on, tickets are just ten dollars and proceeds help local youth gain access to boxing and mentorship programs.
Music fans will want to mark their calendars for tomorrow night at the Knitting Factory, with the post-rock band Earth taking the stage. And if you are a fan of Jane Lynch and Kate Flannery, get ready for their comedic, musical, and mischief-filled show at the Bing Crosby Theater on Tuesday.
Around Riverfront Park, tonight is the big reveal of brand-new chess tables. Come down for some games and community fun, and look out for more events through the month like art drops and carousel deals for families.
For those who like to keep moving, Spokane Judo is offering evening kids practice today—perfect for introducing the next generation to the gentle way of judo—and local gardening experts remind everyone this is the season to plant bulbs for a splash of spring color.
On the sports front, outdoor enthusiasts should check the latest hunting and fishing report, and keep an eye on updates as the Seattle Seahawks gear up for the new NFL season.
And finally, a reminder from local police and city officials—back-to-school season is in full swing, so please drive carefully around bus stops and crosswalks as our kids return to classrooms.
This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
