Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Sunday, August 31, 2025.

Labor Day weekend has arrived in Spokane and the city is buzzing with events, community spirit, and just a touch of late summer nostalgia. Riverfront Park is the place to be as Pig Out in the Park kicks off its multi-day festival today, filling the heart of downtown with the irresistible aroma of local eats and the sound of live music from morning until late into the night. With over 50 food booths, free concerts, and plenty of activities for all ages, it’s a true celebration of Spokane’s vibrant summertime culture and a great finale to August. The fun starts at 11 a.m. and runs daily through Monday, so bring your appetite and get ready to groove to some tunes.

For sports fans, Luger Field will see some serious action this morning as the undefeated Washington Huskies women’s soccer team meets Gonzaga for the first time in a decade. The match kicks off at 11 a.m., and with both teams on a hot streak, expect a spirited showdown that’s sure to draw a great local crowd. If you’re in the mood for America’s pastime, Avista Stadium has the Spokane Indians hosting a fundraiser night, plus “Greenacres Nights” for families to connect over classic ballpark moments as the summer season winds down.

Music lovers have options beyond Pig Out—tonight, head up to Arbor Crest Winery for their Summer Concert Series, where the Rhythm Dawgs will bring dance music and vineyard views to cap off your Sunday. Meanwhile, indie rock fans can check out Knoll at The Big Dipper. And if you’re a car enthusiast, the Dyno Day Car Meet and open house on North Ash Street offers a chance to mingle with fellow gearheads.

For a cultural twist, don’t miss local art exhibits like Lauren Urlacher’s hyper-realistic dahlia paintings at the Liberty Gallery, and if you’re at Riverfront Park later, Hasenpfeffer will be performing at the Clock Tower Stage. Spokane’s creative scene is alive and well, with opportunities everywhere to take in some art or catch live performances around the city.

On the news front, the region is talking about emergency heart care success stories at local hospitals, the role of hydropower in keeping our energy affordable, and a new global nonprofit founded by the Salish School of Spokane to promote Indigenous language revival, connecting our community to international conversations on cultural preservation. Also making headlines is the story of local families in Priest Lake, Idaho, facing change as state land auctions reshape longstanding community identities.

For those venturing outside the city, hunters in North Idaho are getting ready for what biologists say looks like a promising big game season, especially for elk and whitetail deer. And if you’re traveling along I-90, keep in mind the Schrag Safety Rest Area is currently closed due to a water issue.

That wraps up your Sunday in Spokane. Whether you're soaking up the sounds at Riverfront, cheering at the stadium, or exploring downtown’s art and food, there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of your holiday weekend. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
