Thunderstorms, Demolition Derby, and Symphonic Sounds: Your Spokane Sunday Roundup

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Sunday, September 14, 2025.

First up, keep an umbrella handy today, Spokane. The National Weather Service is tracking a 16 percent chance of thunderstorms rolling through this afternoon into the evening, most likely between two and eight o’clock. There could be gusty winds up to 30 miles per hour, that classic Eastern Washington lightning, and even some pea-sized hail in spots. While not everyone will see storms, if those dark clouds roll in where you are, play it safe—forecasters remind everyone sudden gusts can impact drivers, and the dry brush across the region could mean lightning sparks a quick grass fire. If you’re headed outdoors, have a backup plan for shelter just in case.

Excitement is revving up at the Spokane County Interstate Fair today with the much-anticipated Demolition Derby happening at four o’clock. If you love roaring engines, big crashes, and fair food, you will not want to miss the action. Even better, it’s Coats 4 Kids Day—bring a new or gently used coat to donate at any fair entrance, and you’ll get free admission for a child age 13 and under for each coat donated. There’s no limit, so dig through those closets and help keep local kids warm this winter.

If you’re looking for music with a grand flair, the Spokane Symphony kicks off its 80th season at Fox Theater at 3 PM with Masterworks 1, a breathtaking program that includes Mahler’s First Symphony, plus rarely heard songs from Alma Mahler. Whether you’re a seasoned symphony goer or curious about something new, it’s sure to be a memorable afternoon.

Comedy fans, get ready for laughs tonight at the Spokane Comedy Club as Kevin Farley takes the stage at 7 PM. Known for his offbeat humor and starring roles all over the comedy scene, he’s a great way to cap your weekend with some good cheer.

Elsewhere around town, there are plenty of options to keep your Sunday lively. Catch the Obon Festival, a unique celebration of Japanese culture, with music, dancing, traditional foods, and martial arts. Or if you’d rather take in some spirit-lifting music, several churches—including Summit Spokane—are offering both in-person and online Sunday services.

And if you want to start planning for next week, look forward to folk music at the District Bar, organ recitals, or the Spokane String Quartet as local concert season fully gets underway.

No matter your mood, Spokane has something for everyone today—whether it’s family fun at the fairgrounds, world-class classical music, comedy, or cultural festivals lighting up the city. However you spend your day, stay safe in the weather and enjoy celebrating all that makes Spokane vibrant.

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