Spokane Weekend Roundup: Demolition Derby, Comedy, Local Music, and More

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, September 13.

It is shaping up to be a perfect early fall weekend in Spokane, and there is plenty happening around the Lilac City to keep you busy. First things first, the Spokane County Interstate Fair continues through Sunday at the Fair and Expo Center. Tonight is one of the most anticipated events on the fair calendar, the Demolition Derby, starting at 7 pm. Whether you are a lifelong fan of the smashing spectacle or just looking for an adrenaline-pumping outing, this is a show you do not want to miss.

For those seeking a different kind of excitement, Spokane's live entertainment scene is buzzing tonight. Head downtown to the Spokane Comedy Club on West Sprague, where standup comedian Drew Lynch will take the stage for two shows starting at 7 and 9:45. If you are ready to bust a gut, this is your night.

Music lovers, check out J Bones Musicland on East Mallon for an evening of local sounds, or catch Overbluff Cellars' RED: A Walkthrough Peek Show, blending art, music, and community in the heart of downtown. If you feel like stretching your legs, Eats on Spokane Street in Post Falls is throwing their Eats End of Summer Party from morning until late tonight—a short drive from Spokane and a worthy stop for anyone craving food, festivities, and a slice of small-town charm.

For those thinking ahead to next week, history buffs will have a rare opportunity Monday as the original Washington State Constitution visits Spokane for the very first time. The handwritten document, normally under tight security in Olympia, will be on display at the Central Library downtown between 3 and 5 pm. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for Spokane residents to connect with the document that helped define the state we call home. If you go, remember, no food, no drinks, and no flash photography allowed out of respect for the document.

The city has also been abuzz this week with important news. Air quality has thankfully improved since last week’s bouts of wildfire smoke, and outdoor activities are back in full swing. The Spokane County Commission made headlines by highlighting efforts to reduce crime, including hiring 50 new deputies and investing in a new drug analyst position to address the opioid crisis. As crime and public safety remain front of mind for many, these changes could have a real impact for families and neighborhoods across the city.

In local government, there is talk of changing the night of Spokane City Council meetings from Mondays to Wednesdays to encourage more community involvement. A public survey is underway and could result in new meeting nights as early as next summer, so keep an eye out if you want your voice heard.

On the lighter side, tonight is also a great night to stroll through the Wavy Bunch Night Market at the Catalyst Building or sample some of the region’s best wines at the Kitchen Engine’s Sunday tasting events. And if you are up for theater, Julius Caesar continues its run at Stage Left Theater downtown.

That is it from us for your Saturday morning. Whatever your plans, have a wonderful and safe weekend. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
