Spokane Saturday: Fairs, Art Drops, and Local Flavor

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, September 6, 2025. The weekend is here and Spokane is buzzing with activities and events to explore, so let’s dive into what’s happening across the Lilac City today.

First up, pack your sunscreen and maybe even a bandana—the Spokane Interstate Fair is in full swing this weekend, though fairgoers should be prepared for some smoky skies drifting in from nearby wildfires. There’s still a full slate of entertainment to enjoy, including the always-thrilling PRCA Rodeo and family-friendly attractions spread across the fairgrounds. Local officials are keeping an eye on air quality, so if you’re sensitive, consider bringing a mask or planning indoor stops between carnival rides and livestock barns.

If you’re looking for a creative adventure this Saturday, head downtown for Riverfront Spokane’s Art Drop Day. This unique event invites the community to hide and seek art throughout Riverfront Park. You can pick up an Art Drop slip at the Numerica Skate Ribbon or Visitor Center, drop your own creation, or try your luck at finding a hidden local gem. It’s a delightful way to celebrate local artists and maybe take home something unexpected.

Art lovers should also make a stop at the Corbin Art Center, where “Age of Elegance Reimagined” kicks off today. Step inside the historic D.C. Corbin House and tour impeccable rooms staged by local designers and furniture stores, all to support preservation efforts for this city treasure. Admission is just ten dollars and gives you unlimited visits through September 20, so you can keep coming back for inspiration or to support the fundraiser.

A brand-new farmers market experience is revving up at the Scale House Market on East 8th Avenue. With local vendors, live music, and food trucks, it’s shaping up to be a Saturday staple for fresh finds and Spokane flavor. The market is open until two this afternoon, offering that perfect first taste of fall’s bounty alongside local crafts and performances.

For those wanting to stretch their legs, Riverfront and Manito Parks offer everything from scenic strolls to late-summer picnics. Both locals and visitors are reminded that some road and utility work continues downtown. Crews are hard at work improving water and sewer systems, though ongoing labor strikes have caused some delays, especially to asphalt paving. City officials say they’re making steady progress with concrete projects above ground while negotiations continue, and they thank everyone for their patience during this essential work.

On the public safety and policy front, Governor Ferguson is warning that new trade tensions could put local jobs at risk, while regional health officials are monitoring vaccine policies as western governors weigh new approaches. Meanwhile, families of Spokane School District students are noticing changes in local classrooms as an influx of new students continues to shape the district’s diversity and learning environment, reflecting our city’s growing and changing population.

And finally, for night owls or those looking to wind down after a busy Saturday, there’s live music and lively company at venues around town. Whether you’re catching a local band at the Grizzly Bar or exploring new brews at Big Barn Brewing’s Yoga Plus Beer morning session over in the valley, Spokane’s weekend spirit is ready to roll.

This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
